<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 849248, member: 19423"]Been working on a display of my 1908-S Indian Head Cent grading set. In February, I had BluCC photos image my entire set and I've been very happy with the quality of the images. In the past few weeks I've been slowly uploading them to my set in the Registry. I've also been working on copying the images into a poster that'll display all of the coins. I'm pretty slow with photoshop and my computer seems to come to a crawl when I have photoshop and a bunch of large photos opened simultaneously.</p><p> </p><p>Anyways, my plan is to have them all displayed in a single image that I can later turn into a 24" x 36" poster that I can hang in my office. At that size, the obverse and reverse of each of the 32 coins in my set will be approximately 2.5" in diameter each (750x750 pixels) when printed which I think will show enough detail to be worthwhile.</p><p> </p><p>I figured now that I have edited in all of the circulated grades into my template it would be a good time to share my progress. The file so far in photoshop is around 125MB and ends up being around 4MB when converted to a JPG file. But here's a smaller version that has been reduced further by photoshops size limits:</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHCcirculated.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, I'm thinking about laying out the final product which will include the circulated grades, the uncirculated grades and a bunch of "genuine" holdered examples like this:</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/24x36_posterweb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>I may also add some additional text underneath the heading at the top with some history and/or stats about the 1908-S Indian Head Cent. But it's all still a work in progress. That said, since nothing is really finalized in this project and since I'm sure it'll take me a couple more weeks to finish it, I welcome any comments you may have. Thanks for looking! :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
