    @mdlock, what programs are you using to resize, and on a computer or laptop??? Most Windows versions have a built-in app in them..........

    Also, I sharpened and heightened contrast on both to see better (Hopefully!) what's printed..........didn't help ME, but 'might' help someone else!

    I am liquidating my collection of 40+ years of acquiring and collecting. My children have no interest in holding on to or researching to see that it’s an investment. So it all turns to getting as much as possible. They don’t seem to have a problem inheriting cash. Think I’m going to invest it in silver and gold. Got news for them I don’t plan on going for a long time. God willing.
