you have some of the most amazing and beautiful medals yarm, thanks for sharing them with us....here are my 2 newest world coins....they fit my themed collection

although not nearly as exotic as some of the wonderful coins I've seen on this thread..I do enjoy adding new coins to my Sailing Ship themed collection......my newest addition from the British Virgin Islands...

I was holding the coin on the proof pics and my hands are a bit shaky in the morning ( 4th cup of coffee) thanks for the tips on the lighting. I'm not sure of the pixels on my cam. I bought it because it was cheap (on ebay for about $70) easy to use (uses 3 1/2" floppy discs) and has 10x zoom.

if I ever quit spending all of my money on coins as quickly as I earn it, I might have some funds to improve my photo set up...right now I am just using a sony mavica and my halogen ring viewing lamp.....tough to get details and proper color this way

my two new Walkers...a 1943-D MS66 and a 1939 Proof...still working on improving my pics..

nice post dooley, I always love sharing the excitement when someone finds a long sought after coin...congrats

thanks for the tip Rey, coincidentally I just purchased another Cuban Silver 10Pesos coin today....I'll post a pic of it when it arrives in the mail..

My newest acquisition...another sailing ship-explorer. This coin is from Cuba

PS: what is the law-are there any restrictions on buying Cuban coins? I mean if it's illegal to trade in Cuban goods? If anyone knows I'd be appreciative...I'd hate for the coin police to come and confiscate my collection...

very nice ike's everyone...but it's time for someone to post a Washington quarter so that we can move the dates back into a wider range...

it looks to be a nautical item...I'd love to have it to include with my collection of sailing ship themed coins...if you ever do decide to part with it or see another I would be VERY interested..

My 3 newest additions to a themed set I have been building for years......Portugal, Isle of Man and Israel coins......

super coins and wonderful old holders there shane...the older holders are red hot and the market for them is jumping....

As some of you may know, I collect coins/tokens/medals with sailing ships on them.....here are 3 new additions to my collection..

I'm not much of an Ike fan but I do own one..matches the date 1971-S Mint State 66

I think the last coin posted was a 1942...so here is my favorite from my collection that is dated 1942....

Same denomination...same year...same mint...different coin....

I'm no expert on this issue, maybe it's like the Walkers which are often weakly struck in the centers...but the coin looks AU58 to me--please don't take offense. There appears to be wear/rub on the knee, breast, hand, cheek and forehead of the angel and both noses of the men..also the breast and upper leg of the eagle on the reverse.....I know with the bad luck I get on my submissions I would have gotten a 58...is this common for this issue?

PS: the color is gorgeous, it almost looks lightly plated its so golden, nice purchase
