I was playing with our 8100 printer at work. I printed out 3 of my WCE E-101s. My son is holding the picture, it's 44 inches wide and fully unrolled is almost 6 feet high! Oh yea, that is at 600DPI!

    I'm going to cut it down to the 3 medals. But you should see the one of the MS68 OR Comm I printed! Each side of the coin is 42 inches across!

    It's not cut off, just rolling up.

    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    I am glad that I bought a NGC PR-65 UCAM from

    the Mad One, some time ago. It is probably the nicest

    cleanest specimen I have seen for the grade.

    If my calculations are correct, the image size must be near 2.5GB!



    Here's some help if you need more resolution.

    Freakin' awesome. What would, say, a $1000 note cost at about 80 5/8" x 30"? It would look great on a door. image

    Very, very nice.

    Only problem is I am afraid to show stuff like that on my walls. Plus my wife already does not like me collecting and this would not be good.

    Marty, hang it on your basement wall. Next time your sump pump goes out you can use it as a water gauge.image
