GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 8:58 pm MK It is really impressive the progress you are making on this set. I did not know you had so many different world crowns. That must be a really good LCS you have. --------------------------- I have some of the same coins you have, and watch for others to come into my LCS. My problem is getting them organized. Some of them I have in a album Similar to yours. Some are in a dealers stock book .. Some in Dansco type books .. And some in my treasure box. Seeing yours makes be think someday I will need to put one of each type together ... if possible. ------------------- Maybe you should consider doing a days of world coins thread. Maybe 26 days Day one .. countries starting with "A" .. day 2 with "B" Or maybe there would be another idea ..... Just a suggestion Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 10:52 pm Thanks! Yeah the LCS has had some awesome stuff pop in and I happened to be there at the right time (once a week :P). Most of the ones not from the LCS is from buying/reselling auctions stuff. Probably my favorite is the older Panama Balboa. It is Gem BU and a great design. And GR58, the days suggestion is a good idea for my next album (volume 2) if I can ever complete the first! ;) Report this Post to the Staff

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 09:19 am ^ Exactly Oriole. I have done that several times already too :) Now I am going to separate the bullion (eventually once I need the holes they reside in) and sell of some coins that would duplicate the country since I am going to have one of each country. Kind of sad since for instance I like the British Trade dollar but if I am going to have a "crown" British coin it has to be the actual crown. Oh well selling those will help me purchase a few or help me save towards a big one (Hawaii, Lichtenstein, etc.) Thanks for the comments! Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2892 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 09:42 am Mister Kairu - If you want to have a look at my own crown collections - it may give you a few ideas. Particually on how to display them online so they are easy to reference. http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...princes.html and http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...0crowns.html show some of them My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 3:55 pm Those are really cool Bacchus! I may have to figure out how to show them online sometime. And yeah for volume 2 eventually I will have to take a look again at the Post a Crown thread or expand my search on numista to include older coins since I am not sure I can get all those holes filled from different countries in those sizes (36-41mm). Volume 1 is all listed now I just need to wait and search. The first volume will cost approx. the same as a completed US Type Album 7070 without the gold page so it will take some time but I am in no hurry :) Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2892 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 1:06 pm The album you got made looks well - it must be very satisfying to commission something that way. Here in the UK I think albums are less common - most reasonable collections are kept in cabinets - I have a couple. I've included some pictures below. There are pro's and con's with both.

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 2:33 pm Woah that cabinet is pretty sweet! And looks like it is a little more discreet than Albums too. And you quite a number of crowns I will be looking to add to my collection too! Very nice and thanks for the pics! Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5255 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 3:10 pm Cabinets are a wonderful, classic touch, but I am terrified of them sitting loose. I can see myself taking out a drawer and dropping the whole thing. Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2892 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 07:59 am Thanks - I like "playing" with my coins and I can't really do that as easily with albums so this is my storage method of choice. Oriloe, you'd be fine with them - I'd be more worried about a coin falling out of a "push in" type album - horses for courses :) My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff

There's little rhyme or reason to the order :) - they all have tickets/roundels under them to identify them. There's even a Churchill crown in there too - which I should really take out as it's not silver.
