    I know someone out there has done this before. I spent a fair amount of time in MS Paint to get this far. I had a ton of fun putting this together, check it out. PersiaBlackCol.jpg IndiaBlackCol.jpg

    Virtual tray? Pretty common stuff, Ive done it with my lucilla, crispina and 12 caesars sets.

    The relative sizes look good. How did you do that? There five coins in the first image with a less than black background but that is an easy fix. Sometimes this is easier to see if you temporarily invert the tones so the bad ones show as gray rather than white. PersiaBlackCol.jpg

    I like seeing my coins in composites like that. Here's a random pick...

    Yes virtual trays are a nice way of displaying coins. I've done some in the past and still like them. Here is one of them :

    I might have made some other choices in arrangement (2nd pic) and alignment (3d pic), but that may be difficult in paint. Overall love the collection and display you made !

    Hey Master Noob, I put a completely black background on your first image. I hope you don't mind. I'm OCD about these things, and it was bothering me. :p

    I really like the addition of the busts.

    @stevex6, it's ancient... after all, it was a "long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" ;-)
