That has been attemted a few times. People are reluctant (like me) to
make anything such so public. Especially when we trade & have other's addresses.
But I like such pics. Let 'er rip!

The most important thing is to strip the metadata from any photos you post. It's pretty boneheaded to post a picture of your PM stash that includes your GPS coordinates in the file. I know it's convenient, but I'd NEVER use a smart phone to take coin photos for this very reason. Use an old school digital camera and you avoid most of your potential problems.
EDIT: Sorry OP for straying off topic.

TBK had a problem following the rules and was frequently getting his posts either removed or edited. Finally after about the 10th time trying to buy against the rules he took his PMs and went home. |

I am still around, just riding out the storms (both figurative and literally) and traveling hither and yon to visit my granddaughters. The newest one is one month old and we just got to see her this last week. PMs are valuable but my grandbabies take precedence over everything else.

Semi-off-topic
Since someone brought up cellphones and pictures, yesterday the kids were becoming squirrelly. Because of the weather, they had been couped up in the house for the last three days.
The cure: I went down to the bank and bought a box of quarters. So me and to of the kids are at the table sorting quarters when I look up to see my wife with her cell phone taking pictures. Knowing what she was about ready to do, the following conversation took place:
Me: You're not posting those on Facebook, are you?
DW: Yeah, I was going to put "Here's what they do when they are bored."
Me: I don't want any pictures with us collecting coins on Facebook. The least amount of people who know were have coins in the house the better. [Thinking, but not saying: Especially your brother]
DW [rolling her eyes]: OK

Well, you can keep your facebook private so that only your confirmed "friends" can view your pictures. Also, there is a difference between sorting some quarters and doing an inventory on your entire hoard.
I see no harm in sharing a picture of you sorting some quarters with the grand children, but its a good idea to think twice about posting pictures online. Once they are on the internet, they will never come down.

Yes BigFredd was a character no doubt, VERY HARSH GRADER most would attest to and unfortunately I never got the opp to meet him in person in this physical world, but after you read ones thoughts and ideas over a couple of years you kind of get an idea of how they think and interact in the world....
I recall one once saying about Fredd, I had what I thought was a XF coin and Fredd was like VG lol or something along those lines via a lesser grade....
He came from the old school no doubt and many of his friends here that did know him could attest to that fact....
All his posts is a WEALTH of pm knowledge like his brass in your face blunt nature or not, a true treasure trove of info....
It would literally take us all a lifetime to acquire half of what he knew, his numbers were dead on it seemed in many ways and often I wonder what he would say to today's posters of the world and what his thoughts on this fall would be, RIP....
