A couple more photo compilations to enjoy

Several of you seemed to enjoy the 12-piece gold set photo collage that I put together in an earlier thread. It's been cold and windy here and I'm on-call at the hospital right now during a slow day in the ER. What better time to play around with PhotoShop?
I decided to re-work the gold collage slightly to put it in a proper 1680x1050 format for a screen saver. I also decided to make a compilation of my Peace Dollar Registry set. Finally, I put together a collection of what would probably go in my box of 20, if I could ever hope to get down to such a thing. These aren't necessarily my most expensive coins, but those that I have a special connection to. For one of them (the Lib nickel) the connection is nothing more significant than the fact that it took forever to figure out how to image it well. Others have their own stories.
It's amazing what a mixture of half-decent coins, half-decent photography, and a lot of time on my hands can produce.

I worry about them getting scratched
One tiny suggestion, not everybody has 24" monitors. So if you make your template images 1100 pixels wide max, it's friendlier for everyone.
Some platforms automatically shrink large images, but then the image gets a bit blurry.
Stick to 1100 pixels wide max and you will be golden ... by the way, 1100 pixels wide is the web-friendly size of TrueView photos.
