Dress up nice, it's Picture Day!

I typically go a few years acquiring coins through all means; pocket change, getting rolls from the bank, even buying change from family members at face value to keep them from going to their local Coinstar. It was 2019 the last time I went through everything (took about a year), and I started this round at the very end of 2024. I did the cents first, took about 4 months, and am just about finished with nickels (about 5,000 give or take). This time I purchased some vintage Library of Coins and newer Dansco albums to move the "good" stuff into, keeping the old Whitman folders for the tier two sets.

After sorting through the loose change and rolls, photographing the keepers and logging them into the spreadsheet, I go to Ebay and the LCS to get my upgrades, and today is the day to take their photos! I have already finished the Liberties, so time for the Buffalos. I freed all of the slabbed coins from their prisons and will get them and their 2x2 friends photographed and loaded onto the computer to gussy them up and hold for posterity.

I hope you enjoy doing that. I would see it all as a 2nd job.

 

I guess that's why they call it a hobby, but yeah sometimes it feels like work.

 

Interesting spreadsheet...care to share a closer view of it (personal info redacted of course)?

 

Here's a snip of it

 

yeah yeah.. I keep saying I'm gonna redo all the pics for my LC set, but I never seem to get around to actual doing it lol

 

Very nice photography set up. Tell us more about your set up.
