    That’s a lot of high quality coins for such a small collection (in absolute numbers).
    When my collection had 46 coins, 40 of them deserved to be in a tube.

    Do not forget..I've been working on this for decades.
    I used to have thousands of coins..........most I ended up selling at face value.

    That’s a heck of a pick for your Lincoln cent! Very nice!

    OK, I have been less active for a few years. What pray tell in an innovation dollar? And why don't you have one?

    It's one of those new fangled coins from the mint, it will be the last coin I add to this set.

    FOUR NEW COINS EACH YEAR THRU 2032!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The United States Mint American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series to honor innovation and innovators by issuing $1 coins for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the five U. S. territories – Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

    Four new $1 coins with distinctive reverse designs will be released each year from 2019 through 2032 in the order the states ratified the Constitution of the United States or were admitted to the Union. Once a coin is issued for each state, coins will be released for the District of Columbia and the territories.

    @1630Boston - I know how to use PCGS software to create Digital albums. How did you create that "Poster", and can it be converted to pdf format to be able to print in color? It's gorgeous, along with your coins. Congratulations!

    Your not going to like it..............I did it all , entirely in Microsoft Word.
    That's the only way I could do the circle crops since I don't have photoshop etc.

    What you see above...........I copied a screen shot of the word doc. and copied it to MS Paint and saved it as a JPEG.

    Yes I also printed it to MS Print to PDF.

    And yes it does print well as a poster.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm not sure that would help................this 'poster' was created entirely using only Microsoft Word. :)
    enlarged quality might not be great

    @1630Boston - Thanks, but with my lack of I.T. skills, this is a project I cannot tackle. As such, even more kudos to you for that portion of your wonderful accomplishment!

    Very beautiful @1630Boston! Dedication, determination, and discipline come to mind. I could improve upon all three aspects personally. Thank you for sharing.

    If anything; influences, and experiences have shaped my pursuits. I find myself drooling upon many of the posts from this forum, and wanting to collect what others enjoy. I believe all our passions collide to some extent.

    There's some cool stuff here. No sin in collecting a little bit of everything, and I think you nailed it. o:)

    Yes,
    I need one more for the set,
    and I would like to upgrade 4 of them,
    but I can only upgrade 3 of them. :)

    I think you should post two more threads: one devoted to that 1909-S VDB Lincoln and one devoted to that Large Planchet Pine Tree Shilling. Actually most all of them deserve their own threads. :smile:

    The degree the image can be magnified depends on the resolution. With 40 coins in the image, the individual coins aren't going to have great resolution (otherwise the image would probably be too huge to post). You can, in fact, increase the size of the image further by hitting the Control + keys on the keyboard, but you'll get major pixellation.

    Try opening a high res photo of an individual coin in a new tab, it will be blown up to 100% and look just fine.

    Very nice! I might just be inspired to do something similar.

    One suggestion would be to post a link to the set in your signature line so we can all look at it from time to time.
