As I approached the conclusion of acquiring coins (and therefore the completion point of a 600-coin collection), I began desiring to have the coins professionally imaged. I selected a photographer, and pursued the process. It was fun and educational for me, and also led me to become even further detailed in my collection's organization. The photographer (@Denis Richard) both humbled and thrilled me by asking to work with me toward his creating an online 24-coin gallery. The 24 coins are not necessarily the "best" or most "valuable" coins, but rather intentionally serve as a microcosm of the entire collection in terms of era, metal, condition, and theme. If you have the time and interest to peruse the gallery, you can do so through this link: https://hipshotphotography.com/atherton-collection FYI: It is truly best viewed on a screen larger than a cellphone. Also, each coin image is 'clickable' to expand into a highly detailed image. Denis did a fantastic job!
That is absolutely stunning. To touch the period and its significance is just breathtaking..... And my first batch of confirmands at my little church will be receiving some of the folles you blessed me with the first week of December. Been meaning to tell you that.
A wonderful depiction and description of your coins. It's a delight to see and read it. Excellent job.
