    Those are absolutely the best photos I've seen posted in a while - and that's with a lot of competition
    Tell me true, are any of those pictures enhanced with Photoshop or any post photo program?

    Shep: Thanks for the high praise, albeit undeserved image considering some of the pics I've seen posted on this great forum. No - on my honor, the images are just as they came from my camera; only resized (in some cases), and obverse & reverse images combined. Of course, I only post the ones that come out OK image - Preussen

    Nice coins and I know that you got a lot more at the FUN showimage I think the FUN show is the best kept secret for foreign collectors. Your picture taking skills have improved lately and I know they will continue. What's with this British cr*p? I thought you collected German coins and medalsimage3Mark

    Thanks, I'm trying to work on my consistency; it's still "hit or miss" for me.

    I'm starting to like the British "cr*p," but my primary interest remains German. Thanks, - Preussen

    Boys, boys!! Don't you know that "British" stuff are really just Germans in Scottish sheep's clothing.image

    Those G4 farthings are a magnificent design, eh?

    Tremendous lineup of great coins, too.image

    Indeed, the 1830 is sweet.image

    Thanks, Udo. I think I'm down to a dozen or so of the 1888 Friedrich III 2 Marks.. But I believe you have a couple of nice ones yourself image - Preussen

    p.s. The experts conspired against me at FUN and proclaimed my 1888 Wilhelm II 2 Mark to be a true Proof (not an Erstabschlag or "First Strike")

    I'm still not convinced, and when I mentioned "experts," I sure didn't mean you imageimage

    Preussen,

    Some fine coins! Love all of them, but particularly the 1880 Rupee.

    I just purchased a few myself.
