Anybody have a personal website for their coin collection?

I saw a thread for this all the way back in 2003 and it had quite a lot of responses. I recently started a course on html coding / web design, and my goal is to eventually make a personal website showcasing my collection. Does anybody on here have their own website for their collection that they coded? If so, post a link, I'd love to see it!

Nope but that would be an interesting project. I suppose if I did I would probably do a WordPress free site and do each coin as a blog post. That would be the easiest way to get started and have an attractive layout. You might have given me a fun project to pursue someday.
I would do a specific site but as someone who has coded professionally for a long time it would feel too much like work
No need, I have the PCGS Registry
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I do as well but I could see the benefit of a site where you have more flexibility and would reach a potentially larger audience.
I do not now but may create one when the day comes to sell off the hoard of gold and silver.

I have an informative website of a US Mint series discovery. I need to update it with pictures of each medal in this series.

I had one in the mid 1990s, it was one of those free web hosts, but I was learning HTML at the time (as a middle schooler) and had multiple websites. I doubt it's still out there. To get images, I took them with a camera, developed the film then used a scanner on the photograph. Times sure have changed. Be sure to share your URL here if you get your page up!
Its almost as if you're proposing something similar to a "social network" for coin collectors. I'm aware of the PCGS registry and haven't really used it, but almost sounds like something that may be able to be incorporated into this forum, like if you clicked on a members profile and there was a page for showcasing some of their current collection.

I do have a website with over 600 super eye appealing certified coins. Here's the thing, it is a business website tho.
But, I do consider my inventory as my personal collection because I hold no coins back, it's all on the table.
So, if you wanna a really cool resource for midrange super eye appealing error coins well you know where to go.

I actually use Google Photos to store my own coin image albums, along with the PCGS registry. Here is one for my capped bust halves, hopefully it works:

Thanks for the link.
Interesting accumulation of errors.

The PCGS Registry is great for PCGS graded coins, but when you have your own website you can also display NGC and raw coins. For those of you who don't know how to code, there are some great free website builders that you can use like wix, weebly, and wordpress, though they have their limitations. A really easy one to use is sites.google.com, though I'd like to start mine from scratch and work my way up.

A few random thoughts; first the NGC registry will display both NGC and PCGS coins. Also GFRC has a small registry (very focused on seated coinage and type sets) where you can display both certified (any TPG I believe) and raw coins. I only know of one collector that built his own website for his collection. I do not follow it so I'm not sure how up to date the site is but here is a link to it. https://thechristophercollection.net/

Wow, your collection is incredible! I've started a PCGS toned Lincoln cent set recently, though I haven't gotten much for it yet

There is a lot of work there. Very nice job!
I have my own website that I've maintained since 2004. It covers all my hobbies and travels, including my coins. However, I have the coins hidden in plain sight. They are in a locked folder called new. (Code for numismatics)
This is my website : https://public.fotki.com/ElCaminoBilly/
If you wish to browse my coin collection, the password is 1832.
That's the date of the first coin I bought as an actual numismatist.
I have over 400,000 images on my website, both photos and scans.
I have not considered a website for my coins. For me, it would be a major project, unless I limited it to just some specifics. I guess I won't do that... would be too much like work and I collect coins as a hobby. Cheers, RickO
Error on coins that’s an impressive display!
I liked TDN's website a lot, but personal sites can be hard to maintain.
The PCGS registry does allow one to input NGC coins in one’s inventory and add a picture. All can then be displayed using the gallery function.

True, though I would like to display my raw US Type set and Lincoln wheat cent collection
