<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3332110, member: 81093&quot;][USER=88908]@Lutok[/USER] Thanks for your compliment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Firstly, I&#039;m thrilled this thread has taken off again. So many amazing displays posted, each with their own charm. A special shout out to [USER=99531]@Nvb[/USER] for the cigar box idea, [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] for your display, and [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER] for your tray style.</p><p><br /></p><p>In answer to your questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>- I just use regular paper from the printer. I find images from the Empire/Kingdom/State, and then try to create a &#039;water mark&#039; or background style by playing with the colour and saturation in Word, so that it can sit behind the text, while still making out the original image</p><p>- I do a little research on each of the rulers, mainly using publicly available sources on the Internet. I focus on what I want to, as there is only so much history you can squeeze into a little sleeve. In the case of Byzantium, my general approach is how effective the Emperor was, and whether they gained or lost territory</p><p>- Yes, the coins are just loose in the pockets. They generally stay more or less put. Sometimes I need to correct them, but they mostly behave</p><p><br /></p><p>Broadly speaking, I find the process of displaying the coins to be one of the most enjoyable parts of the hobby (other than holding the coin in the hand of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), as I get to tell a bit of a story about the period the coin was minted in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know if you have any other questions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
