<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2390372, member: 4373&quot;]Joe, thank you for your kind words. I think it&#039;s something that any keen person with burning passion can do. But again, it has taken me a long way to get to here. As for a tip of how to create such albums... I guess the best advice is to imagine it&#039;s something that you really, really want from inside out. It&#039;s like when you purchase your first car, you open the bonnet and try to understand everything inside even though you don&#039;t. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve thought about mintage figures but figured that with type sets, it doesn&#039;t quite make sense to put such figures. Do I put a total number of mintage of the years the coins that have been struck? With yearly mintage however it does make sense like these ones I made for the Australian 5 cents I made a long time ago</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://gxseries.com/numis/austype/album/aus_5c_pg1_small.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gxseries.com/numis/austype/album/aus_5c_pg1_small.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://gxseries.com/numis/austype/album/aus_5c_pg1_small.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://gxseries.com/numis/austype/album/aus_5c_pg2_small.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gxseries.com/numis/austype/album/aus_5c_pg2_small.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://gxseries.com/numis/austype/album/aus_5c_pg2_small.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Mind you, that was designed back in 2008 so my photography and photoshop skills were mediocre. The background is good except I failed to take account of the size - it&#039;s A4 which is too bulky to handle if that ever become a reality. I sure have come a long way... </p><p><br /></p><p>Current design is the exact same specification of the Dansco album - if I make a print out, I can just put a page side by side with the original and it would look very identical. I think I have done that once before for the digital Japan coin album and was blown when I did a comparison. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I&#039;m only doing this when I have some free time, it&#039;s taking a lot slower than I&#039;d like it to be. I am hoping to finish the Imperial Korean coin album within the next 24 hours...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
