  2. The fantasy nation coin I designed was released by http://www.bluewatersmint.com/ last month and is still available. I've also just released a fantasy nation coin of my very own manufacture: http://www.kpftradio.com/altcash.html
  3. The coin I designed for the fantasy nation of Valemaa is now on sale at http://www.bluewatersmint.com. Blue Waters Mint is based in Cypress, Texas and is run by proprietor Bill Turner. Turner issues coins, currency and stamps for dozens of fantasy nations applying a unique variety of techniques and materials in his products. Valemaa is described as a tiny remote island in the Baltic Sea, sadly suffering from longstanding economic distress. Even so, the traditional symbol of the spirit of the people there is ringing bells. I created a two-dimensional design for the obverse of the Valemaa coin. The reverse is denominated at 1 Pfennig. My illustration was sent to die engraver Gary Carlisle in Oklahoma for a three-dimensional relief treatment, then on to Tom Maringer in Arkansas for minting on a screw press. The final product is a 14 millimeter .999 fine silver coin weighing 1/2 gram. The mintage of 500 pieces is equally split between two different finishes: brilliant white and a chemically treated suntanned version. The price for a single coin is $6.99, and for examples of both finishes it is $13.50. The coins come in archival plastic coin protectors with descriptive labels and also includes a tri-fold brochure providing a detailed narrative about the fantasy nation of Valemaa. For purchase, please visit the webstore link below: http://www.bluewater.../apps/webstore/
  4. The Renderer piece appears to have been engraved and minted by H. Alvin Sharpe, creator of the aluminum doubloons for New Orleans Mardi Gras. He's done a few storecards.
  5. I lost all the coins I collected in my early teens. I have no idea what happened to them at all. None of them were particularly valuable, but it was something I put a lot of time into in the early to mid-1970s. I guess the education I received while collecting back then is what has lasted.
  6. 1990 East Germany Reunification and Parody Issue:
  7. I just pulled out a 2007-D dime and noticed what appear to be some types of errors. The most noticeable things were some sort of blobs of metal on the eyebrow, along the top of the nostril in a curved line, out around the corner of the mouth and the bottom of the chin. These blobs are also plentiful in the hair in different spots. Perhaps these are some type of cuds. (In fact, one eBay seller offers a 1999-dated Roosie like this called "Drooling Roosevelt" cuds.) Additionally there is some sort of indent just outside the corner of the eye. And finally the inside "negative spaces" of the letters "O" and "D" in the word "GOD" appear to be drooping down and to the left. I've posted some photos below to see what people think.
