Kcm Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 09:03 am As my title asserts, this is a follow-up to my post on 11/8/2020 (Andy Worhol's 15 Minutes Of Fame -- My Turn). If you need insight as to why I post today, tedious details pollute the earlier post. tokencatalog.com assigned no. TC-594787 to my upload of this apothecary weight. The 2x2 flip that held it at time of purchase (late 1970's) had the year 1921 penciled onto it. I withheld that info from the catalog -- unreliable for now. The following token was assigned catalogue no. TC-594790. I did the best I could with my imaging and lighting but I opted not to tamper with the packaging (or the package's information) that stand preserved almost half a century after issuance. A web search using keyword "Fugatis" will yield clearer images if required. It surprises me that I was able to fill any voids in that massive catalog.I did fill one or two more. One more post on another day should do me. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 3:53 pm @kcm, these are really neat pieces. I see that you have become a supporter of CCF. Thank you for that! I do have a couple friendly tips to improve the clarity and searchability of your future posts. Specifically, could you please only post one token per thread? Also, please word your titles so that it is clear what token you are posting. Finally, your pictures will be improved if you are able to take outside the 2x2s. This isn't always possible of course, but it is appreciated when you can. Thx and I look forward to many more posts from you!

For as massive a database as it is there are many tokens not in it and likely never will be. Good of you to contribute to updating the database Report this Post to the Staff

Kcm Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 08:47 am To Spence, I'd actually prefer to break my posts into smaller parts. You'll not see another multi-artifact post now that a moderator has issued license to virtually double the number of creditable posts on the site. After reading yours, I stumbled across the site's "Why titles are important" blurb. Makes sense. Your wording tells that you understand my reticence to unpackage the final token in this post. What this oitsider doesn't yet comprehend - yet intends to comply with - is your urging that I sacrifice the entire cost of my 2x2 ($0.025) and three staples ($?) to get a better image. Do folks research images sometimes, even when the poster doesn't beg them to do so? Kevin Edited by Kcm 11/11/2020 09:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
Kcm Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 08:50 am To scopru, I wasn't surprised there were some holes as much as I was surprised an outsider like me could fill one or two. Thank you for posting! Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
Kcm Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 08:57 am To Circus, Thank you. I just popped over there for a quick look and then came back to finish what I'm doing here. I added it to a spreadsheet I call COIN URL'S". I'll go do a study of the catalog later. Kevin Edited by Kcm 11/11/2020 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 09:00 am to CCF Kcm! I have a bunch on that site for inventory purposes. Don't take it personal when your additions get corrected. They are fussy about punctuation, spelling and layout. Mine are mostly medals rather than tokens. Report this Post to the Staff
