World coin Showcase....

I spent some time cleaning up my collection in my Showcase Album (see my signature line below). My Box of 20 is a bit overweight at >70 pieces! Any feedback or comments welcome.
I think the coins look nice, with some great TrueViews from over the years. But, the relative sizes are all off. From searching on the forum, the problem is because the sizes of the coins are not known. I messaged one of the mods (based on prior threads), but haven't heard back.
Any advice on who to reach out to? And what info they need - diameter in millimeters for each cert? Or for each PCGS series number?
Thanks in Advance.

Some really impressive coins on that "Box of 200"
Regarding the sizes, not sure there is much you can do other than contacting PCGS registry. I have the same issue with 8 reales coins that are the same size that one real... Crazy.
But very nice group.
Wonderful set - well done!
In terms of the size, i've encountered that issue where the size of the coin on the coinfacts page is either missing or incorrect. I've posted about it on the registry forum and emailed customer support. Not sure which approach worked, since i haven't heard back from either the mods or the support email, but the issue was fixed.
Fantastic group of coins. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed seeing your collection.
That's a great set!
I understand what you mean about the relative diameters and also the potential hesitation from our host for a more proper appearance. It is much easier and efficient to write code for a set, repetitive size than it is to manage each individual image.
Just to give an example of code...
< img href="coin_img.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="coin" />
href is a pointer
"coin_img.jpg" is the name and location of the displayed image.
width and height are typically measured in pixels.
"alt" is what the computer shows if the image doesn't load.
Imagine having to adjust the values for width and height for every single coin image that's uploaded!

Very nice start for a Box of 200!
And FWIW, I think it presents better in gallery format.

Lovely group. I have checked out the James I shilling you have many times.

Thanks for the comments all.
I didn't even know there was a gallery format - but now I see there is and I was playing around with how to merge jpegs, so I think it can look even better when including some non TrueView images.
@Clio - we have talked about the shilling in the past! It's interesting when you see a coin you like from another member.

Very cool set!
