I caught the fever from a few guys on here who recently started collecting Susan B. Anthony dollars, one is going for PCGS slabs, the other is filling an SBA binder. For a while now, I've had a few SBA dollars in my collection, graded by NGC. While I like the look of coins in binders, I prefer having them graded and sealed in slabs. I usually photograph my coins for record-keeping and then store them away. If I want to check one or two, I pull up the images in my coin photo files. So, here's what I did: I created a simulated coin slab holder for my Susan B. Anthony collection. This will keep my coin photos more organized and clearly show which ones I still need to complete the set. For my Categorizing and Fun Approach in collecting SBA. I may consider expanding to other sets. Sneak Preview - The picture below illustrates the format I'll be using:  |

Why did this system not take this picture at 800 pixels? It only took it at 300.
I've been uploading 800 pixels many times before!

CoinForMe, your idea of a virtual binder is really cool!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Thank you very much Hondo, just an experiment to find out if I can manage the inventory of my collection a little better, as to what I actually have... Thank you jbuck, for the help, I didn't think of that, will retry later today...  |

I think I went a little too big with the picture this time. Also, it's not as sharp as it should be.

Thanks jbuck, looks like I will be using this size.. I wish it were higher in resolution to display the coins a little better. Oh well, it is what it is. Again, thank you for the help!

I find myself wondering if you could make a physical binder where the slabs on each page would lock correctly with the slabs on adjacent pages.
Nice presentation. =)
