hope they don't fix it

I spent the day messing around with my High Seas Signature Set. Recently I have been so focused on my Walker Short Set since it is only 2 coins from completion ( and a few upgrades) that I have not been spending the time I usually do hunting/tracking sailing ship themed coins.

Well I spent most of the day "fixing" my signature set. I finally finished the task of re-imaging all of the coins...then I got the wild idea to "jazz up" the set. I have inserted in every coin pic a flag from the country of origin in the corner ( some of the flags from countries like Andorra, San Marino, Nauru, Niue & Palau are very cool)...I got lucky and found a cool website with every flag in the world--unfortunately I had to download---then crop---then re-size the image of the coin to large---paste the flag---then shrink the coin image back so that it would re-load.

Have I mentioned that this is a labor of love?..actually that is mostly true as I get to look at all of my coins from this set again--but it was a lot of work. I added a second flag to some coins--US Navy coins got the Naval flag and Stars and Stripes....olympic commems got an olympic flag along with the country of origin...and other neat stuff ( for example I recently purchased a 1907 Jamestown 300th Anniversary stamp and put an insert of that to go with my 1907 SC$1 and 2007 Jamestown commem)

About the glitch----I had not fully grasped how large ( and hard to navigate) my set was getting, so after 2+ years of putting it off I finally seperated them into an order. There is no practical denominational or date method that would work because of the various denoms and different date systems, medals, tokens , SC$'s etc...so I decided on geographically.

The set is divided into 6 regions..and the glitch is that I was able to create a "blank" line between regions with only the title of that area in the listing line. I managed to circumvent the little red dots that say "*required info"

Okay, the six regions are: N. America (US, Can & Mex)..Caribbean, Central and S. Amer....Eastern & Western Europe....Africa...Middle East, Asia.....and Australia, Pacific Islands and Antarctica ( yes-I have actually hunted down a sailing ship coin from Antarctica)...

So that's what I did with one full day of my life..sigh..if you are of a mind to give it a quick look...the gallery tab makes for quick perusing...I'd hate for all of my effort to not be appreciated by anyone..here's one that still needs slabbing (along with about 20 of his kin)..
