a labor of love

spent a few hours this morning adding some of the coins I just got back from NGC to my Signature set....I know that I probably spent a few dollars more encapsulating a couple of them than the coins are actually valued at. Their worth to me is a different subject though...worth every penny to slab them and become part of my High Seas signature set...Of the 8 coins I added today {half dozen to add later} I included my first 2 gold coins for this set; 2 coins from the Middle East; 1 from South America; a Polish zloty "coin within a coin" design and a few Carribean coins. The real time is spent gathering info on the coin/history/ship depicted/country etc... then I get picky with the photos....like I said, a labor of love......

this is a photo of the just added 2006 Canadian $20 Tall Ships series coin.."the Ketch"...second coin in this series with the hologram on the reverse..
