    Fantastic collage! The Bust Eagle is cocaine for the eyes. You also did the photography? I can see the inside of the certs on some of the coins, but not others. Did you photograph some of these coins while not in holders?

    Yes, my photos. That's a wonderful hobby-within-a-hobby. All were done inside the slabs. Quite a few are in older holders without the prongs that overlap the coin a bit.

    I also noticed an error in my original post. The Pilgrim is in an OGH, not a rattler.

    Yes it is. I look at photos of my coins more than in hand. I used to use a scanner 10 years ago in the old days and have been trying to take photos like these with my Canon. Trial and error, but for myself, it is about 95% error, 5% success. :)

    With technology, sometimes I feel like that old-timer pulling his sack of potatoes back home with a horse and buggy while the rest of the world is zipping around in flying cars.

    Wow! Very impressive. Don't think I've ever seen toning on a Standing Lib. Quarter that I liked more than yours!

    I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.
