Thanks Bobby

I'm hoping my grand son's will take an interest in collecting

at a young age . I wish now someone had done that for me.

I won't push them I'm hoping they will see my excitement and

that will in turn get them excited hunting for nickels to fill their albem.

But I don't believe in forcing them, collecting like playing an instrument

is something they have to want to do, caus if you force them the will never

enjoy it for what it is.

The silver one is a 1916 Italian 2-Lira, which has a beautiful reverse design and super high relief, almost like a medal. The gold one is just a common Swiss 20F bullion piece.

Alan, my photos are pathetic compaired to most people round here! I just have a camera with a macro setting, a timer setting, a cheap little tripod and I am getting good at croping the photos. But I still need better lights and better software.

 

Have a look at this thread and see all the help and great advice I got as well!

 

my learning curve

Is the name correct ?

I have two Kennedy's in flips

They are so nice I am thinking about getting them graded

This summer.

I am going to try to take pictures of them and then everyone can tell me if there are worth grading.
