Show me your "Coin Family Photos"!

DelawareDoons · July 17, 2021 12:27PM

I want to see your "coin family photos", all your coins you consider to be a group together, defined however you please. IE I have 200+ slabs, but I gotta say, there's nothing quite like a pile of NGC Fattys all spread out... Except for maybe a pile of Rattlers.

I ran around like a madman this morning to get this pic of all my Fattys in one place before the bank closed. I need more, more more! And some upgrades for the work-in-progress US type set (first 3 rows) would be swell.

This is my all inclusive slabbed type set which includes just about all my slabbed coins (PCGS, NGC, ANACS) in an order that makes sense to me. Oldest to newest per denomination, gold at the end of the US coins, followed by medals in order by date.

That's a pile! Wow. Also you have some really cool medals. Pics are a tad small but my favorites would be the 04 Half Cent, Seated Dollar, and Gaudens $20. That Morgan-ish medal looks rad too, but I'm slightly biased.

Thanks, about the size, those are the thumbnails in my digital album on my phone. If I click them by touching the thumbnail with my finger they are full sized images.

And here’s my slabbed Seated Liberty Family portrait. A bit larger and with grades. This is my current favorite smaller more closely related family of coins. I especially enjoy looking at them like this and noticing the subtle design differences to the otherwise uniform main design elements common to all of them.

Note-added 2 more new/recent ones (37 and 62 half dimes )on 7/18

My mothers birth year date set photo that I use for my NGC registry set. Obviously not all the coins from the set but just a collage to represent the date set. The large negative space in the upper right is for the rank banner that NGC uses for its registry.

I have 20 coins at PCGS right now, across four different submissions. When I get them home it will be pretty special. Most are Mercury Dime Varieties. It will be cool when I can combine them with what I have, Sadly, I could be close to September by the time they are finished at PCGS. Two economy and two regular submissions. Ugh.

This is the collage for my 1930 year set, this one I did include all the coins I have in the set.

bronzemat · July 17, 2021 4:19PM

12 Caesars set

Mr_Spud · July 17, 2021 4:21PM

One last one for me. This one is a real family coin photo as in this is a group of coins that Mrs_Spud and I received when her grandmother passed away a few years back. The older coins were actually from her great grandparents and were passed down through the family. Their family came over in colonial days and were Quaker farmers and lived in Burlington NJ, right across the river from Philly.these are the best of the lot. I’ve shown them on the forum before, hopefully not too many times. I’m thinking of slabbing some of the Capped Bust ones

Nice.

Where’s Ike ?!

I don’t have any slabbed Ike’s. Plenty of raw ones, but none slabbed. Sooner or later I’ll probably either buy or submit one.

Love this! I'm collecting a type set of PCGS CAC coins, but I've added the extra challenge of 1st year only. It's been a blast, and I hope to have a photo like yours soon.

BryceM · July 17, 2021 7:28PM

This isn't the box of 20, it's just what I would probably keep if I got rid of all but 20. It's a nice enough bunch, I think. I update this every couple of years. Maybe 1 or 2 would change today.

You all got fancy edited pics! I need to put some work in.

Are you lost? This is the PCGS Coin Forum? All kidding aside, that's nice group of coins and with all those gold stickers, who says NGC grades are overly optimistic?

Although not quite as diverse nor high grade as the Fatties, have some rattlers to maintain a corporate-friendly presence.

MarkInDavis · July 17, 2021 10:58PM

I feel like NGC fatties are among the most consistently undergraded coins by todays standards.

OK, I see 4 white label fatties... I gotta know which versions are they? Is the gold lettering on the back on the inside or outside of the slab?

Cool set.

Now I wish I'd taken a group photo of my 144-piece all-rattler silver commem set while I still had all of them.

1984worldcoins · July 18, 2021 1:07AM

Just some random coin pictures from my collection (all 1984 ):

ricko · July 18, 2021 4:22AM

Wow.... great pictures and 'families' of coins. I have neither the ability, time nor inclination to assemble and photograph such a grouping of my coins. Probably would not be able to even get a picture of the entire group... sub groups would be possible though..... maybe some time..... probably not. Cheers, RickO

MWallace · July 18, 2021 5:50AM

Great group of coins everybody. I love looking at them.

I don't have photos, but if I did my "Family" of coins I'd show would be a set of Love Tokens I've been working on for years. I call it "The Family Tree". They are engraved, Grandmother, Grandfather, Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, Friend, etc. Once I even bid on one that was engraved "Dog". I was the underbidder and since I've never seen another, I could kick myself for not bidding higher.

2 2.0, 2 2.1. The 2.1's are the Indian $2.50 and the Washington proof. Hopefully more of each to come.
