Ordering and tracking thread for painful photo contest.
Using the latest in chaos theory, i came up with a order to minimze the travel distance between contestants. The coin will do one lap around America. I 'll try to get it out in the mail early this week. Let me know if there any problems as they come up and we'll juice the schedule a little.
Mail: no insurance, +/- priority as many legs are pretty short and probably won't take more than a couple days anyway.
When you're done, Email or PM me the photo (800 x 800 max) obv only. I think that the obv will cause ample pain.

This is going to be cool, I just wish I could have joined in (I didn't because I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to catching proof coins...)
I can't wait,

Edited to say: Coin was pretty easy to image. Shouldn't have much trouble with it.

Shylock is slacking....make him give you the pics horizontally instead of vertically...he is tricky like that
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
This is the only thread I am subsribed to.
As a result, I have been on the edge of my seat so long my hi*ey hurts.
Carry on.

<< <i>should be on it's way to eyoug shortly if not already. He is the last on the epic list of competitors. only took 9 months.
Not bad. You as the moderator are the only one who knows if all images are of the same 1964 Jefferson Nickel. After all its travels, I'm sure this specimen would have an intersting story to tell if only it could talk!

It'll be fun to see all the images together. Mine was far from great but fun nonetheless! Thanks to Mark Goodman for putting this together.
