Do any of you use photos of your coins as decoration around your house? I'm thinking of getting some prints made - though zooming in a bit on the coins to make them more 'artsy.' Since I don't feel comfortable leaving my coins out, I feel like this would be a creative way to still put them on display. I'm going to give it a try with this one first...

Well I certainly do understand the sentiment but think I'd rather have those little puppies live and in person.

That is a cool photo. I have a hard time envisioning what it will look like framed and on display.

Reminds me of many enlarged prints of postage stamps that my brother used to have displayed as artwork.

I like this idea. kudos!

I like that shot Mshev. There's definitely potential for an art piece. It's going to come down to composition. Maybe some sort of collage, not the whole coin, but in segments like your photo. Sort of like this:

(though I wouldn't dare display my Morgans that way)

Hmmm....I like the idea, now to figure out how to execute it.
