M. Wallace used a couple of photos of mine in his "small dollar" website, too. Neither are major except to those who follow moderns.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Look at coin #30 here. Yes, it has a hole in it!

I could add numerous coins pictured in SNV, but I suspect that's cheating since it's my creation.
I enjoy owning plate coins, and went out of my way to purchase several when they became available. My best snag in this regard was a CPG plate coin lying unattributed in a holder on eBay.

My '09 VDB PR65RB had an article about it in the "Rare Coin Market Report". I also have a few MPLs that are plate coins in "Coinfacts".
I also have a couple of other coins that are plated on CoinFacts.

The obverse of 1800 B-20 Bust Dollar is the plate coin from M.H. Bolender's die variety book on early silver dollars. This was the major reference work on the subject for many years.

I hate to break it to you Curly, 'cuz you know I like you, but it has become apparant to me that whichever top pop coin of a particular issue that has been true-viewed most recently automatically becomes the plate coin for Coinfacts. I only found this out as I kept seeing several of my recently true-viewed top poppers on the front page of coinfacts for the issue. For copper, oddly, the BN coin takes precedence, even if there are true-viewed RBs and RDs. This is probably because the coin number for a BN coin is lower than the coin number for a RD coin.
Check the Memorial Cents page. My old 1961 PR66BN (now in ProofCents' hands) is THE plate coin for the series. This is likely because it is the lowest PCGS coin-numbered issue that has been true-viewed, as I had that coin photographed last summer. I do now own another in the same date and grade, so I'll bet you that if I got that one true-viewed, it would usurp my old coin's auspicious spot in coinfacts.
