acan451 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I really like these coins. One of the very first Commemoratives I ever owned. That's probably true for a fair number of us. Great coin. Hi Art I have been trying to get one of those for a long time. That one is a beauty! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Got this in the mail the other day. A bit late for the celebrate Columbus thread but a nice piece.

Art1.2 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 So Columbus Day has come and gone but does that mean that our celebration of this great man is over. Maybe not. I got a fine Christmas card the other day from ccg with two really neat notes inside. Both are from El Salvador and both celebrate the voyages of Columbus. So here they are. Note the Christmas greeting on the 10 colones note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Cool. I've never seen the case before but I've managed to l;ocate three of the medals. The case is nicely made and holds the medals in their plastic holders. I've never seen the medals other than in sets. Good luck with hunting them down. The hunt is sometimes a lot of fun.

Art1.2 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Added this Columbus to omnicoin today. As you can tell I've been messing with lighting again and am not really happy with the results or my ability to overcome the pinkish cast in the editor. I think it's time for a new and different kind of bulb in the light that I'm using. Either that or I'm going to do some more experimenting with flash vs. static lighting.

I believe you're correct on that one. In a few years of the 90s they reissued a bunch of older stamps as parts of souvenir sheets and in some cases with new postage amounts as part of what I believe they called "Year Sets".
