Some very cool Numismatic desktop wallpaper I made for my PC at work. (2 more just added.)

I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my desktop wallpaper I made for my PC at work. We get some very cool coins and sometimes I like to see them more than just to image them, so I make some wallpaper. Here are 8 of them. Some have Pinnacle's logo on them, and some don't. I only put it on the ones I thought would make look nicer. Yes, I did clean up the coins some. No they aren't all MS68+ coins. They are high grade though, which made it easier to work with. Enjoy.

This was the first one I made. I like it still because of all the room I have to put my icons. The others don't have that sort of advantage and can sometimes "hide" your icons.

Thanks for sharing!!!

OK, Poorguy. Do me a Three Cent Nickel!

Ok. I don't have any on my CF card right now but when I get a chance at work, I'll make you one. Color or White?

I would really like to make one of each major series. Just for fun.

Thanks Brandon, I'm now using the Peace dollar. I also adjusted my screen saver not to kick in for 15 minutes instead of the set five!

Very nice. I am using the Liberty Nickel (for obvious reasons) but think #1 is the best for a background, followed by #2. Do the cameo morgan like the gold in #2 and I would probably like it best.

Hmm, I'll take that into sincere consideration. I like that coin and it would look especially good set like #2. I'll post it tomorrow.

<< <i>Color or White? >>

Are you kidding? Does the Pope like toned coins??

Color!!

Those are fantastic! I'm using the Peace Dollar one

If you ever make one with nice chocolaty circulated capped bust coinage let me know.

Get a widescreen and catch up to the 21st century, wouldja?

OK I liked no. 2 so I brought it into Photoshop, slapped it onto a 1280x800 canvas, stretched it slightly for the correct height, and added black space to the left (so the coin wouldn't look stretched out). I hope there are no objections, but here it is. ... I'll of course take it down promptly if there are any objections (I did kill the logo).

Sometimes I crank it up to 1920x1200 but not too often. It should still look good at that resolution though.

Of course there are no objections here. My monitor for work is set to 1280xsomethin. I forget.

I had to resize these so they would work for the majority of monitor settings out there.

About the logo. Feel free to remove it. I am just proud to work for Pinnacle so I gladly slap it on everything I make like this.
