Show me your "Coin Family Photos"!

DelawareDoonsDelawareDoons Posts: 3,254 ✭✭✭✭✭

I want to see your "coin family photos", all your coins you consider to be a group together, defined however you please. IE I have 200+ slabs, but I gotta say, there's nothing quite like a pile of NGC Fattys all spread out... Except for maybe a pile of Rattlers. :)

I ran around like a madman this morning to get this pic of all my Fattys in one place before the bank closed. I need more, more more! And some upgrades for the work-in-progress US type set (first 3 rows) would be swell.

    This is my all inclusive slabbed type set which includes just about all my slabbed coins (PCGS, NGC, ANACS) in an order that makes sense to me. Oldest to newest per denomination, gold at the end of the US coins, followed by medals in order by date.

    That's a pile! Wow. Also you have some really cool medals. Pics are a tad small but my favorites would be the 04 Half Cent, Seated Dollar, and Gaudens $20. That Morgan-ish medal looks rad too, but I'm slightly biased.

    I have 20 coins at PCGS right now, across four different submissions. When I get them home it will be pretty special. Most are Mercury Dime Varieties. It will be cool when I can combine them with what I have, Sadly, I could be close to September by the time they are finished at PCGS. Two economy and two regular submissions. Ugh.

    @DNADave said “Where’s Ike”

    I don’t have any slabbed Ike’s. Plenty of raw ones, but none slabbed. Sooner or later I’ll probably either buy or submit one.

    Love this! I'm collecting a type set of PCGS CAC coins, but I've added the extra challenge of 1st year only. It's been a blast, and I hope to have a photo like yours soon.

    Are you lost? This is the PCGS Coin Forum? All kidding aside, that's nice group of coins and with all those gold stickers, who says NGC grades are overly optimistic?

    I feel like NGC fatties are among the most consistently undergraded coins by todays standards.

    OK, I see 4 white label fatties... I gotta know which versions are they? Is the gold lettering on the back on the inside or outside of the slab?

    Cool set.

    Now I wish I'd taken a group photo of my 144-piece all-rattler silver commem set while I still had all of them.

    Wow.... great pictures and 'families' of coins. I have neither the ability, time nor inclination to assemble and photograph such a grouping of my coins. Probably would not be able to even get a picture of the entire group... sub groups would be possible though..... maybe some time..... probably not. :D Cheers, RickO

    2 2.0, 2 2.1. The 2.1's are the Indian $2.50 and the Washington proof. Hopefully more of each to come.

    NICE! When did you put this set together and how long did it take you? Do you still have it and are you making money on it?

    Bet you wish you had those back and I would wager most of them are entombed now!
