[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8536391, member: 24754"]Thanks a lot, and ya, it was a lot of work. It's been right at a year since I started and I'd estimate that I've spent something like 250-300 hours on it. It started feeling a bit like work toward the end, but all in all I did it because I enjoyed it. Plus, I learned a ton about the people on my coins, which to me is the majority of the interest in collecting them in the first place. I considered doing something like that as part of the book. But in the end, I figured that having pictures of my coins would ultimately detour people from actually looking at my coins. Which, would kind of defeat the point. I do plan to do a systematic, high-quality documentation of the collection with photos at some point (I have photos of all of them, just missing the "quality"), so something like that might be coming anyway. After all, now that the book is done, I need something else to move onto![/QUOTE]
