A VRBS ROMA I am finished with

I may have shown this earlier. But, I am fine tuning my collection and had some minor touches to do one this. This is the best I can do.

Very nice job. Rhea Silvia & Mars would be proud.

 

By "fine tuning" I am organizing the coins and the information. I am putting the coins in an album and each will have a page with the description of the coin and a photo of my coin and of the coin I used as a reference. So, some have to be touched up a little.

 

That's a large undertaking, I commend you for such detail with your cataloging.

 

Excellent!! We are of the same mind... I have been working on my binder for about a year. I keep my coins in trays but enjoy having the binder up to date for browsing.
I have around 100 coins (much less than most here). My issue was that I purchased many coins very early on - when I just started collecting - without properly categorizing or double checking attribution.. so this project really helped me know and understand my coins. I still make mistakes but this has been an excellent learning exercise.
I print the sheets at home - so use black ink.. I think once I am happy with the finished project I may get the binder reprinted at Business Depot .. or a similar place to get nice colour copies. (I know it will grow of course)..

I also think @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix keeps a binder? If I recall correctly... who else does I wonder?

 

@Clavdivs Nice. I only have a little over 100 ancients also. I get only coins that have not been cleaned and are virtually not identifiable. I clean them, research them, and then I do the photos and album stuff.

Without the good folks on this site I would be helpless. I have been collecting for over 70 years. I ran out of stuff to collect and turned to ancients.

Printers and sheet protectors are great tools.

 

I am more than OK using this thread to see what other collectors are doing.

 

Yes - sorry if I moved your thread into a different direction... I was just so happy to see another "binder" person...
I really appreciate your posts and the work you do cleaning your coins.
Your experience is certainly appreciated here.

 

Oh, man, you created a MAEANDERING thread! (sorry)

You're on a roll!

 

Yeah, Ima bit punchy right now. I did apologize.

 

That's a great clean job. I have cleaned 2 Vrbs coins, one with great success and the other, rather lackluster.
