    A lot of variety there. You have a nice looking "type set" going on there.

    Newp. That’s the current “big gun”.

    If you're going to do specialty background templates like this, you should add theme song links for each too! ;):p

    Nice collection, but only one coin has a hole!

  • PedzolaPedzola Posts: 1,028 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Neat eclectic set of coins. You ever upgrade or only add new types?

    Occasionally. That MS64 Feuchtwanger cent is a recent upgrade from an AU53.

    Wow - that was entertaining! Nice job on the collection and the variety of photo presentations.

    I like the "watermelon inversion" - clever name for this coin!

    My box of 20 has been stuck around 15 for a few years....

    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    That green buff does not belong in YOUR collection. I know of a better place...... ;)

    I bet your collection would be a great show and tell for people of all ages. Well done!

    All incredibly nice coins, but that Feuchtwanger is amazing.

  • FrankHFrankH Posts: 982 ✭✭✭✭✭

    THAT is a true ....collection.
    Eclectic, indeed. Truly fine accomplishment.
    I....like....it. :)

    Lord M is partially to blame for my latest ancients obsession. :D

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 24,076 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That is a terrific way to display your collection... I'm tempted to do the same!

    CollectiveCoin is great, and I like it’s simple, clean layout. But I’ve started using CollecOnline more, as it offers more tools. Most notably it has HTML enabled description fields, where you can put links or embed videos, etc.

    Part of what I like about CC is that it doesn't have that stuff. Simple, streamlined, clean.

    That's a really nice display and collection Rob! I like the way it flows through the centuries and incorporates lots of designs and countries. I had to spend a couple visits to appreciate it all. Was also glad to see you still have the '44 Half!

    Awesome collection!
    I always enjoy seeing the C D Peacock token and am glad to see the Kazakhstan Owl has a place in the case too. :)
