An interesting project and a personalized way of passing the enjoyment and the history to your family. I think it provides the chance to enjoy your items even more as you stated. Thank you for sharing with us.

Interesting project. Looks like a lot of work. Do you know that this kind of information is available on websites such as Numista.com. They don't have rubbings but they do have pictures.

No rubbing, please! It just adds wear to the coins.
If you can photograph the pages (as posted above), you can photograph the coins and use a glue stick to paste them into your scrapbook.
In theory, we should all keep logs or journals of our collections (mine are Excel spreadsheets), so you're off to a good start.

mine are Excel spreadsheets I also keep a very in-depth excel spreadsheet and a file with the information that ends up in these pages, but with these pages I have a much more personal interaction with the coins |

Cool. Would love to see rubbings of road rash/parking lot coins.

Interesting for sure. However, as your collection grows, doing that with thousands of coins would really be a lot of time used.

What a cool idea, especially with older foreign coins.
Lovely cursive too!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I hope to have a few more pages pictured and posted tonight! I'm going in order of purchase, so for now I'm still in American coinage but I hope to be in the cool world coins in these next few days To respond to a few things: ijn1944 - I somewhat agree! I don't think I would have much to write about parking lot coins, but a possibly similar vein I wanna get into is some chopmarked coins. Still PMD, but a bit more historic than parking lots just_carl - It certainly is lots of work but that's what I enjoy about it. As it stands I only have around 60 coins or so, so there's a backlog right now to deal with in terms of making pages, but after that, it'll be a nice flow of making a page each time I buy something new. Thousands of pages worth sure would be cool though, I can picture a whole shelf of these journals to chronicle my collecting journey. jacrispies - Yes! I'm excited to get into the designs I started this project for, the stuff from the 1700s and earlier is really what got me excited for this project |

More pages have been completed, I'm going in order of purchase date and I bought a Canadian collection on a single day, so this is all a bunch of Canadian! Looking good! |
