this set just keeps growing...

I finally got enough time to go by the post office and pick up some packages..among them were my submissions to NGC. A great turnaround-exactly 10 days, just as listed for the tier on World Coin submissions. Just a fabulous group I sent this time-with coins from Andorra, San Marino, Iceland, Congo, Ghana, Somalia etc etc..since I purchased the Krause catalog I have found dozens of coins that fit my signature set of sailing ship themed coins.

Now comes another great part of the hobby that my little niche provides-and that I love { I am a bit of a history geek}--researching either the ship, the navigator/explorer, expedition or discovery of the place that the coin commemorates.

I am not the greatest photographer but I try and take photos that accent the details of the coin or create a white on black effect for deep cameos.

This set is quickly nearing 100 coins and now I will start the next phase..researching my returned coins for info to add to their descriptions, while shopping/hunting for the next batch to mail away..and then it starts again as those get graded/returned and the next treasures are discovered..I really love this hobby.

Here is a photo of one of the latest returnees--a heavy, bi-metallic, silver with gold inlay,interesting shape, Bermuda $2 coin celebrating the arrival of a new Millenium..just gorgeous...
