Of all the stuff I put up on Ebay I really didn't think this coin would do that good but wow.

    I like how you watermark your pics!

    Ebay sucks a lot of the time, I agree.

    Thanks it's real easy too. I just take the image of the coin into PSPX and create a layer and then put my text on it and
    reduce the opacity down on the text layer until there is just enough text showing. Then I merge the image and save. It's a poor
    man's watermarking pluginimage

    You did VERY nice on that Columbian piece. I think it was a bit undergraded though, based on the pics. I think it's at least a Fine, and possibly higher for the type, depending on how crudely they were struck... the plate coin for Krause is actually in worse condition than your example. Nevertheless, based on Krause prices of $35 in VG, $70 in F, and $150 in VF, I think you got a very nice return on it.

    Looking forward to the NZ piece. image

    Considering that the Whittier coin brought $92, your results are good but not that surprising.

    Sorry, but I don't. I find such watermarks annoying. But if you have a problem with folks stealing your pictures, I guess you have to prevent it somehow. I just don't like watermarks across the coins. (And yeah, I know you have to put the watermark across the coin so folks won't crop it out, but it seems like there could be a better solution).

    I don't care for it either me Lord but I did have a problem a year or so ago where someone was lifting my images and using them for coins he didn't have.
    Since I host them outside of ebay now I guess I could always change the if they get ripped. image
