Turning Coins into Paintings

When comparing coins to higher priced collectibles such as art and cars, it's often mentioned that coins sit in a SDB and cannot be enjoyed the same way.

I was wondering if one way around this is to try and turn coins into art by building up a habit where beautiful coin photos aren't just shared on the Internet but as photos hanging on a wall. Two potential and different ways to do this would be canvas prints and metallic paper prints.

Does anyone hang photos like poster-sized TrueViews on their walls at home?

If people started doing this, would prices of prized coins go up?

I have one of these posters hanging on my office wall...

I printed way too many of them too so I have "several" copies in storage, ha!

First thing I noticed is that you're missing a PO-01

Do you get comments on it?

Yeah, also no AG03 or FR02... lowest is G04... but that can change over time

Sure, some people comment on it and then tell me about all of the rare coins they have at home like the Susan B. Anthony Dollars and the rare $2 bills they have stored away
