Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 08/14/2021 6:32 pm I have been wanting to have a way to document where each coin is when I place them into my various Dansco albums, but have all the info in one 3 ring binder. This is what I'm coming up with. I took a picture of a blank Cent page and imported the image into a new program my office is using. 'Lucid' is the name of it So I imported this image: Once it was in the program, I was able to 'draw' on top of it with ellipses and circles, the Circles representing the coin physical location, and the ellipses to document the contents. Once that was done I copied it all and pasted it into another file without the photo of the dansco page in it. What I ended up with was an editable version of a page I can print out and place them into a document protector for a 3 ring binder. Here is an example: I plan to do this for all albums. The first one I make for each coin set becomes a template to copy from. I'll have a quick reference book for all my coins when I'm done. Collecting since 1972.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 08/14/2021 9:54 pm Innovative an excellent idea! An excellent way of getting around the problem, where Dansco albums do not lend themselves to attaching information relating the to the coin. It is a viable alternative to placing all of the relevant information relating to each individual coin that can normally only be written on a 2x2 flip, and yet still retaining the advantages the Dansco albums that many collectors prefer. Bonus: There could be a commercial opportunity for you, for the work you have already done. Report this Post to the Staff
