This is part of that very big purchase I just finalized. This guy was a heavy smoker (you should smell the packages when I open them), worked the coal mines, and loaded his own ammo.

    Nice coin. Pics look a little overexposed

    The pic seems a bit off to me.....washed-out or over-exposed.......is the coin really that bright? I noticed in previous thread where you posted another coin from this deal, that pic also had the same washed-out/over-exposed look......

    You guys like this one better? I confess I have NO eye for this type of thing. I can't even hang a picture, much less take one. That's why the XTi.

    What do you mean you take a pic. Those are some highly detailed photographs.

    Shouldn't be so humble, you look like a pro. Nice V nickel. image

    Nice coin. 64 maybe? Nice obverse stars, too (I've owned several, and none of them had all of the stars even close to being complete)...
