...i can appreciate ur interest in the research of these coins n desire to document the same but dubious bout collectors being enthused to ship their coins thru the maze of usps, ups, fedex n placing their coins unnecessairly at risk, plus at their expense n there is the privacy concerns bout ownership, some collectors prefer to keep their private collections just that, private...i for one will pass...u mite have better luck if u attempted to have the owners bring their coins to a central location e.g. world fair of money n u obtain ur desired photographs n annotations there? just a thought....
