Buried in snow, so why not scribble a few thoughts...
I have been a regular reader of the journals for quite a few months now, so I thought I'd try my hand at a brief post and share a picture.
To kick off the start of 2011, I decided to start putting together a non-proof, non-gold 20th Century Type Set. I have no intent on the set being more competitive than possibly top 20, as it is well out of my budget to compete with the sets containing MS67FH quarters and strictly top-pop coins! Moreso, I just wanted to be able to enjoy the beauty of one example of every major 20th Century strike.
At the same time, I've been trying to improve the images of my collection. I took the advice of lehigh96 (who has some of the most beautiful toned coins around -- and in my opinion some of the best registry photography as well) and I got a copy of Mark Goodman's "Numismatic Photography, 2nd Edition". This book is great, and it covers the gamut of coin photography issues.
Below is one of my 20th Century Type Set additions. As a purist, some might say that including a DDO coin among your type set is bad taste, but this coin is a real beauty.
