This was the top coin in a tubed bu roll of wheats I recently received. I call it "SUNRISE, SUNSET". corky

Some mighty fine coins Corina... and what's his name?.... teehee. Sure does look like you are getting quite nice collection going. I like the Japanese rooster best. corkykile

Yesterday I turned in a roll of quarters and 13 rolls of dimes. Then I saw a familiar box on the counter... one of those $25.00 cent boxes and asked if those were new pennies or other. She said they are from the feds but are circulated. So, I scooped up a total of $23.00 in cents. The only coins that are worth a mention are the three wheat cents, 39p, 40s, and 41d. The runners up are Canadian pennies 1963, 1978, 1979, 1980, and 1981. Also, there are about five rolls of cents that are lost to corrosion. There are about 200 copper cents and the remainder are zinc cents. The zincs have been searched and the coppers are still waiting. onward ------->-------> corky

Thanks Stujoe. Right now I am having difficulty getting the file within the size limit so I can send them to the forum. I won't give up. corky

Thanks Dock. After posting I realized my pictures got scrambled... back to front, etc., and I need to determine an appropriate size for viewing and transmitting the same. I hope my hubby can help me with the second part because the more I learn about Paint Shop, the less I know how to do anything. After company gets here and leaves I might have enough time to actually do something. Be back soon as possible. corky

(((virtual museum is my vote, but I'm not an admin or an 05'er. Good luck!))) I think that is what I will do, after all, if they don't want me to do it then they can just delete them. It won't hurt my feelings if they do. Thanks for trying to help. I need to retake the pics because somehow between taking the shots and putting them on the computer the fronts and backs of the pages got out of order. I now think I can control that a bit better. It will take a little time, but I will be back... Thanks, Corky

((( A line of text will now appear where your curser is.))) Hey Youngun, You make it sound so simple. I have taken pictures but realized I did something wrong with them and need to retake in proper order. This time I am taking the pages out and displaying them separately, then see how they turn out. After that I will use Paint Shop Pro 7 to crop and reduce the pics and post one page at a time. I had pretty much decided to post them here in the museum. If I do it and I am not suppose to then someone will surely let me know. So... will get around to redoing the pics and try to get them up soon. Thanks, Corky

Okay all you really bright coinpeople... got some questions for you all. I want to post pictures of my completed Lincoln memorial album pages. What I need to know is, where on this forum would the appropriate place to do so? And, what do I need to do as far as the size of file and such so that I can show the pages as they are in the album? Keep in mind that whenever I post a picture of coins I want to share or brag about it is only by accident that I get an appropriate size for the site. I use Paint Shop Pro 7 for resizing of the high resolution digital pictures I take of my special coins. Any help at all with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Corky

Does your spouses pocket change count? My hubby went to LA to meet with the big bosses and he came home with a few cents, and one was a well worn Lincoln Mem. The others looked suspiciously like the ones I turned into our bank a few months ago. Which is odd because we live about 100 miles north of San Francisco... corky

An F-12 or better 1939 p Jefferson nickel. Unfortunately this might be one that I recycled at our bank a couple months ago... Corky

The UPS guy brought me some coin reference books. A whole box full. 1. 'A Quick Reference to the Top Lincoln Cent Die Varieties' by Wagnon, Peterson and Flynn. 2. 'The Lincoln Cent Doubled Die' by John A. Wexler 3. 'Reprints' by Joja Jemz. 4. 'Over Mintmarks and Hot Repunched Mintmarks' by Flynn and Wexler. 5. 'The Jefferson Nickel RPM Book, Update 2001-2002' by James Wiles. Of course, my hubby doesn't yet know this is a very late or very early Christmas present from him. Corky

Yesterday I found a series 2001 star note in my change! It has serial number G03111510*. That makes three for me. Yeh, I know, I'm a slow starter, but gaining. Corky
