    I like them both but I'll have to go with the first one for the reasons cited by TomB. B)

    I like the second one with the fading text alongside the pictures. They both look great otherwise!

    The first one just has a classic look for the classic coins.

    I like that you don’t have to turn the page to see the reverse of a coin. Unlike this one.

    Top.

    The top one for me... Do not care for the color of the second one. Cheers, RickO

    Top for me as well. Nice strike on the '21.

    Another vote for Top. Beautiful group of coins regardless - very nice!

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    I like the first one, the color and layout looks better to me.

    I like both but agree that the top one with the neutral background color is easier on the eye.

    I like them both yet there is a bit more pop and interesting visuals to the second one. I find myself looking at the coins there longer than the first which is slightly too beige and drab.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I’m not sure where this will end up, I’ll have to experiment some more I’m thinking 🧐

    I’m leaning towards something like this if/when I want to include lots of information about the coins themselves. When I’m just going to include coin images with no or minimal text I’ll use the Wayte Raymond template. I think this one is almost there. I made the pattern on the page as a way to make it less overly pink looking. It’s still Dansco Continental Line inspired, but somehow it looks less “loud” to me with the pattern. Now that I have it set up as a template in my Pixelcut App on my iPad I can just click on the obverse/reverse coin image and replace it with any of my other coin images.🌞

    I like the second one (more coins :) ) but change the color
