Here is a set of backgrounds with the same type set - up to you to decide what you like. Marble feature http://gxseries.com/dump/russia_1921_91_type_pg1_marble.jpg Wood feature http://gxseries.com/dump/russia_1921_91_type_pg1_woodgrain.jpg And a Soviet style propaganda feature http://gxseries.com/dump/russia_1921_91_type_pg1_propaganda.jpg Lots of potential but I guess we are used to the 'leather' texture that we have seen for years?
Saw this online and I thought I'll post it. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Series-of-h...22?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item1c39369e82 And according to the official website - they have these varieties of albums and the price actually seem to be VERY reasonable if you collect the series (around 30 - 50 USD). This leads to a Russian manufacturer. http://www.albonumismatico.com/catalog/albums All I can sum up is - really? I'm sorry to hijack this thread but this will be the last of it I promise.
I don't consider it hijacked. I find the virtual books fascinating. I wouldn't mind having the software to do some of my own. If I were a collector of Russian coins, I would love to have a Russian album to present them in.
You will have to post photos when you put some coins in. I have a huge affinity to type sets and dansco albums they are my weakness. I'd love to do types of Canadian, British and other coins and now this Mexican set is totally in my want list.
Well I didn't do it exactly like I wanted. Way to much work and lots of room for error. So, I relabeled the book and finally got someone to help me drag out the heavy SDB. ( I had shoulder surgery 2 months ago and am unable to lift more than 5 pounds. The box weights more than 5 pounds) Now I have the coins to place in the album. Not perfect, but it does look better full. I just wish it went past 1960 so I could add all the rest.
