poboxw Pillar of the Community Canada 1502 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 6:51 pm DBM: Before I can afford to buy a nice macro lens or figure out how to tweak my scanner, these photos are about as good as I can get them. Still no where as nice as canada_coins's pics! And yes, I enabled that ebay feature but am still new to how it functions on the forum. Thanks for the tips. SilverBug: My wife and I've been selling off doubles of and unwanted parts of our collection on ebay for about a year now. Our listings have grown recently because our appetite grew as well and have not been keeping impulse buys in check (that and our first baby's due soon so we're preparing for the coming money pit). I hesitate to advertise on the forum because I know our prices are very high, and don't want to insult the members here by peddling them. These 2 $300 coins really are one of my favorites and among the rarest we've come across, so I thought i'd share some amateur pics. Libertad: I think the dies used on these $300 were new to the coins (is that what you are referring to?). This guess based on the fact that the size on the effigies do not match any of the standard sizes used on other circulating or NCLT coins.

SilverBug Pillar of the Community Canada 862 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 7:11 pm I didn't realize raising a baby could be so costly:). there is a video on how the dies are made in RCM, they engrave a graphic in big size, make a inverse copy, then use a machine to scan and dup it to smaller size, the scan and duplicate takes 24 hours+. in this way, they can resize the graphic any size they want Report this Post to the Staff
