Hello all,

 

We've got a new feature in the registry called Signature Sets. If you haven't read the announcement, check it out. It'll be an excellent way to share world coins online, since it can be tough to define a world coin set given all the diverse ways people collect. Check it out:

I took the plunge, comments are welcome!.

 

It's actually quite fun, I think once I finish with this one I'll add some sets along my other collection themes. thumbsup2.gif

That is awesome. The photos and descriptions are great!

 

Maybe I'll go ahead with my George V Canadian type collection. Now if only I can learn how to take good photos... confused-smiley-013.gif

Hey Jammin,

 

VERY inventive use of the gallery function on this set:

We loved this idea at the show!

I just started my first world Signature Set Registry , even though I don't have most of my coins slabbed not do I have decent photos. I'm a long way away from being able to list all the coins in the set, though I am only missing a few. Shall I cave in and get them sl*bbed?

Planning on selling any?

 

Not any time soon.

 

Then why slab? You've always seemed more of an album and airtite guy to me.

Oooh! Cap'n'Rays! Fun series :) Would make one hell of a registry set, too.

 

The legend under the cap tells you the mint. It goes : "8R.[mint mark].[year],[assayer initials].10Ds.20Gs."

Go is Guanajuato Mint

Zs is Zacatecas Mint

 

I'll look-up more information about these specific (over)dates once I get home. Nice close-up pictures. Did you use a microscope?

1832 GO

1885/75 G? or GO

1888 Z or ZS

1888 Zs FZ - Die style of 1887-1897. Rarity: Common as a date. The overdate is very rare. Varieties: 1888/7 FZ - Overdate; 1888 FZ - Normal Date.
