Box of 20 Photo Collage - Type Coins

The most enjoyable part of being a type collector is the ability to pursue a large variety of coins. I don't really have a box of 20 mindset, but the idea lends itself nicely to a collage. These 20 are not necessarily the best, most expensive, pretteist, or highest graded in my collection, but I have an emotional attachment to most of them. The Pilgrim might seem out of place, but the designer, Cyrus Dallin, is my 1st cousin, a few times removed and it was the first coin I bought from Mark Feld. The Indian cent was from the first time I met the Penny Lady at a Long Beach show and it replaced a rather drab coin that I sold. The Peace Dollar is my favorite series and this one is truly something special from Larry Shapiro.
At least half of these coins came to me as a direct result from my involvement here on this fourm. The photography is my own - also a skill picked up from the gurus who demonstrate their work here. I shared an earlier version of this a few months ago, but it's better now and a few of the coins have been replaced by others. Enjoy!

Truly a work of art. Love how you combined the best of two hobbies.

That is a sweet Barber 50C! Love the look - the "russet flake" I call it.

That is a piece of type collecting art.
The Pilgrim looks perfectly placed to me.
Being a fellow type collector (not in this league) I can really appreciate what you have here.

<< <i>Very nicely done, Bryce. You should print and frame it.

That's not a bad idea! Anyone know who would do a good job with this? The last time I used an Internet printing service I got back a fairly low-res, grainy print. I should have known when it only took a few seconds to upload the file.
Hoard the keys.
