OK, it's official. I have succumbed to the Darkside...

JR · June 28, 2004 9:39AM

I just got this beautiful set in today. Woo Hoo! BTW, any scratches or marks are on the plastic capsules holding the coins. The coins themselves are flawless!

That is a very nice red X JR, how much did it set you back?

JR · June 28, 2004 9:46AM

$14.79 plus tax and license.

My damned image hosting site is flaking out today. just use your imagination...

JR

PS: Try right clicking on the image then choose "view image". Hey, it worked for me.

Aethelred · June 28, 2004 9:49AM

Well, I don't see any bagmarks on the red X and it looks like it has full, blazing luster! However, the design seems to lack imagination.

JR · June 28, 2004 9:54AM

Say, are you sure you are wearing your eye patch on the right eye today? Nevermind... I'll try a different image host to see if I can suit a dead king.

I agree Aethelred tis a very nice red x the lad's got there

JR · June 28, 2004 9:59AM

Alright you harsh critics. If thjis doesn't work, just click on the link.

Aethelred · June 28, 2004 10:00AM

If it were mine Mikey I'd have it slabbed by RXGS.

JR · June 28, 2004 10:01AM

MacCrimmon · June 28, 2004 10:03AM

Yep!!! It worked before you said something about it!

BTW, if anyone can host a picture for me until I get my image host straightened out, please PM or email me. I actually pay money for my image hosting site.

For pete sake don't ask me why, but when I copied the "properties" of the red X into my browser, I got the full picture, and when I came back to the thread it was here too.

trozau · June 28, 2004 10:16AM

right click the red x. copy. paste url and the picture shows.

JR · June 28, 2004 10:17AM

If all else fails, just copy and paste the above URL into your browser. I really don't know why sometimes the pic shows and sometimes it doesn't.

I really don't know why. I suspect my image hosting site is flaking out. I've never had these problems before.

Askari · June 28, 2004 10:18AM

Welcome, JR ... we knew you had the infection! Long may it spread!!!

A very nice set, too. Are you going to start collecting these Aussie sets ... or just glass eyes from dead kings?

Thanks Askari. I've been a closet Darkside collector for about a year now, but just decided to come clean about it.

For whatever reason, I took to the Australian Kookaburra coins and have been building a set of them. I have a bunch already, but I'm trying to build a complete set of Kookaburras. It's gonna take me a while to put this together, but I'm enjoying the hunt.

JR · June 28, 2004 10:24AM

Thanks for the help farthing! Now, I'll just have to try and figure out why my image host isn't doing what it used to do.

ONE of these links has to work! Man...

vrtech99sboss · June 28, 2004 10:32AM

The darkside really isn't a bad place!

Some beautiful coins, JR!

Weird thing like what happened with satootoko...no image, but after pasting the link into a new window and coming back...there they were! (of course, by the time I got here, farthing had posted the pic already anyway!)

Thanks Deb!

I really don't know what's going on with my images. I checked them out on the testing forum before posting here, and my image worked there always and only sometimes here. I don't get it!
