Your coin collection in all of its glory...

Most of us have pulled everything out of the box and spread it all over the table or floor for a group photo.
I'm in the process of doing a full inventory and will make a group photo after the organization.
...but would like to see some spreadshots for inspiration.

    Pulled it out of the box, or poured it out of the bag?

    I`m gonna show you how NOT to do it.
    This was a free couple of hours and didn`t have the time to enjoy my collection they way I should have.
    Carrying 20 Eagle Slab Albums from the safe and spread them feverishly on the dining room table for a quick pic is not recommended.

    Counting all of the coins, tokens and medals that I have there is no way that I would have a room large enough to lay out the entire collection on the floor. Not counting the stuff I have in rolls, my collection is probably over a thousand pieces.
    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    No! But 17 down isimage

    That picture is a bit out of date as I have added well over 50 more. The only problem is I think the tower would fall.image

    Just think if you got rid of the plastic your towers would be about 8", 6" and 2" tall.
    Hmmmmmmmm.

    Three things for you Derek. One, is that a masking tape roll holding up the PCGS tower? Two, I think you need to replace that picture on the wall with some billet7 original art image. Three, What percentage of those coins would you say are early and seated quarters?

    Jeez... You'd think you could have stacked it a little better...... too many gaps for my taste.

    We need those pics of the nephrologist's wheat cent hoard.


    I recall someone would photo this pile of amazing looking coins in a crystal ashtray... who was that?

    Three things for you Derek. One, is that a masking tape roll holding up the PCGS tower? image No, thats part of the table. Two, I think you need to replace that picture on the wall with some billet7 original art image. That is not a bad idea as your art is very cool!image Three, What percentage of those coins would you say are early and seated quarters? As you probably know there is a complete set of Capped Bust Quarters in the PCGS stack, but between the three stacks, 80% are Seated/Bust quarters. >>
