Occasionally, I have combined some of my coin photos into collages to highlight a particular feature or illustrate a topic.

Here's one that features the mint marks of the portrait 8 reales during the reign of Charles III of Spain.

Here's a collage of mintmarks I uploaded here long ago:

These are a bit fuzzy, since they are cropped out of full-coin shots, and not closeup shots of just the mintmark.

I don't even have time to organize my collection properly, let alone photograph it. Anyway, I really like what you made there!

I really like what you did there, jgenn.
You should wander over to vistaprint and have some postcards made. I'd buy 50

Great example, pepactonius, of a built-to-purpose coin photo collage.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

Here's another that was uploaded to some CCF thread long ago:

This collage was supposed to show some of the birds (eagles) that have appeared on US coins.

Of course anyone who combines obverse and reverse pictures into one image is creating a collage.

Here's one where I added a closeup of a part of this type of coin that is often weakly struck.

Ah, true. I suppose I have a more than a few since that is how I post my images.
