    I've bought every gem+ Gothic florin I've happened across in the last 10 years (except one) and still have only six to show. In fact, PCGS still has graded only 14 in MS66. & 2 in MS67. If you kick out the first year, 1852, the gem+ count dwindles to an even 10.

    I wish I knew where the rest were, or even the 16-odd MS65s hiding in the woodwork. image

    << <i>s there another way to enlarge pictures? >>
      1. Right click on the image.
      2. Click on "Copy Image".
      3. Open Excel or Quattro
      4. Place the cursor in a cell.
      5. Right click on "Paste".
      6. Put the cursor at the lower right corner of the image and hold down the left mouse button while dragging the corner diagonally down.
      7. Stop dragging before the image starts to pixilate.
    The higher definition the original image, the larger you can make it before losing clarity.

    This method may or may not work in other spreadsheet programs.

    I got the picture of the inauguration medal up to ~4" on my screen with no problem.
