    WOW!

    Unfortunatelly I'm not so patient to do the same WOW, as LordMarcowan did , but I really mean it, Wayne!!!
    Nice Sail/steamer for your fleet! KM # 179 and it is in my wants! You have a really good friend!image

    From Canada I have only one P/L dollar coin, 1999, Frigate "Santiago" and I hope to post its scan in the nearest future.


    By the way, Wayne I'm still hope (like all other forum's members, I think) that you'll place all these shipcoins at your site in the nearest futureimageimage

    Nick,
    Amasingly I was surfing eBay last night ans saw one of these and almost bid. Due to not having any money I was able to retrain myself.
    Eventually I will add more of my coins to my site. I am trying (no luck yet) to learn how to get better photos and site presentaion.

    I am gabber-flasted to find words on how this total surprise has made me feel........

    Susan is one nice lady.......image

    Wayne...

    I don't think , that you need "to learn how to make better photos"---yours on your shipcoins page are brilliant! My opinion , you don't need to improve them, or try to make the better ones image





    I'm serious!

    Walt....... In hand, so to speak, it looks a lot better than my photo. I have a big problem to photo these highly reflective coins and now one of my light went kaput...........image

    Wayne -Some of the cased Canadian dollars have neat ships on them like the 1949 and the 1987 Davis Comm. there are a couple of others one of which is the one you got from Susan - How many of the Canadian ships do you have now?

    oldshep...... I would have to do a "round-up" to be sure but I don't think I have very many......... 3-5 for example, maybe less than 5.
    I really don't know right now........image
