You're welcome Meanwhile, I got nothing

No Way!!! you must be all now

I used to collect stamps actively.... now I just have some albums with stamps. But I still keep looking at the stamps, when I get mail.

No problems, I guess. I forgot to mention, that parcel has the greatest stamps on it

Three packages on the doormat when I came home from work First one: Second one: and a CLincoln Third one: A very kewl sheet with personalized address labels And a 5 dollar note and 5 1 dollar notes. from these 5 1 dollar notes, 4 are crisp UNC, with consecutive numbers: B 76372458A B 76372459A B 76372460A B 76372461A Thanks guys and gals

Actually, it was yesterday.....

When you're converting GIF photographs, it will reduce the size, as you're working on a photograph. What I meant was things like screenshots from e.g. a page in CoinPeople, e.g. this page. The large blue areas in one and te same color withthe lines in different colours, that stuff is difficult for JPEG and will result in ugly, blurred stuff that is larger than a GIF.

Indeed! The same goes for the previous one, the aniversay coin, looked at it using a magnifying glass reveils a lot of details and insight in the design methods

ain't all Canadian peeps very nice???

I tried this too and got some very nice results for the steady hand: I happen to have one of these: and that holds the loupe for me and my camera is on a little stand too:

Note to the note: this is not entirely true. JPG or JPEG is developed specifically for photographs. If you take GIF images with larger areas of the same colour, like e.g. screenshots the JPEG compression will fail and create larger files than GIF would do, and also at a worse quality....

Got 8 crisp UNC € 10 notes from the ATM this morning: short code serial number P001F6 X12857577554 P001F6 X12857577563 P001F6 X12857577572 P001F6 X12857577581 P001F6 X12857577599 P001F6 X12857577609 P001F6 X12857577617 P001F6 X12857577626 These notes are printed in sheets and then cut apart. Apparently there's mutliple sheets cut at the same time and those stacks of notes are bundled. That would explain the serial number inscreasing by 9 each time. However, there appears to be one note missing...... Thus one sheet been taken out perhaps, for a quality check? I spent 5 of them already, so I have 3 left, the top 3 ones.

yup, have it saved on my computer

"S" Countermark struck at August 6, 2005, 3:52 pm in Sidney.

I could say "thanks" but I didn't do anything to make them. I have the proof "S" as well and I think that's even better, because the image on the reverse comes out even better. If it's the best? I dunno, I like that buffalo too.

yeah

Sent a whole bunch away, today so yall look at your mail box next week

another addition today

Thanks Mitch91!!!!

wow, that's your dancing bunny in there

I sent Henare the PM to tell him the total cost of the coin + S&H and before I knew, my email program notified me I had a new email, which confirmed that Henare made the payment. Thanks a lot Henare

In the design of the Peace Fiver, small dots sparkle around Queen Beatrix. Designer Suzan Drummen: "The dots suggest space which makes the coin look a bit spherical. And space is something I assiciate with freedom." Oh, that's OK with me.
