Grids of coins

Just obverses; single series: Liberty Gold Eagles (motto+nomotto as the obverses are the same). Each image is 320x200 pixels. Arranged in 3 columns.

Something about this format appeals to me. It shows lots of coins without making a thread that's too darn tall.

I'm hoping that other folks can show their cool coin series, whatever they are, in a similar manner...like gecko's pandas. A grid of pandas would be cool. So would a grid of large cents. (hint hint)

Looks nice. If you get rid of all the returns, Firefox will automatically show however many per row as your browser window can handle.

I've gotten the below to work with 1, 2, 3 and 4 across by changing the width of my browser.

Hmm, seems like it works with Firefox 2 but not Firefox 3 or IE7. The latter two just show one long row.

Here is another. Did you know that there are a great deal of cheap common date half eagles? The slabbed coin grades are all over the place. The raw coins are relatively similar.

I think I want 4 columns for this one.

I think the appeal is simple: It looks like a coin album.

I'll do quarter eagles too. I'll mix the indians and the liberties to "make it look like I have more".

Adam, I love the coppery color on that 1901 Eagle- she's purty!

That one is a result of searching a coin show. I want to search more coin shows. It's an 'O' mint as well.

There are eagles in that group that some folks on this forum have owned and may recognize.

Those eagles are soon to be joined by this one. It will improve the look of the group, I think.

Notice that this is why I fear Liberty Double Eagles. If I start in on that, i'll probably want to make a mixed representative set of them just like I did everything else.

Now...putting these grids of pictures together is not difficult and pretty mechanical and lots of images can be done in a short time. I'm hoping that the lull is caused by folks getting images ready....i'd like to see more series. Perhaps i'll get the camera out and shoot a bunch of morgans?
I'm sure that forum members here can produce some stunning stuff... (begging)

So far we have a few contributions. I love looking at those cool old coins and seeing them side by side like that!

Please? I wonder who on this forum would have such obscure items?
