[QUOTE="phubanks, post: 860823, member: 23286"]i just thought of a solution to this "to crack or not to crack" issue. Why not scan in the dansco album pages and post images of the scans to a web site. Then you could scan (image) the coins (either in the slab or raw) ... then cut out just the image of the coin (using any graphics package) and drop the round images into the album scan ... you could even have each coin image in the album clickable so if you click on the coin image ... it will flip and show the reverse. This flip capability could be sort of like what i did here for currency where you can easily flip the bills and see the back ... [url]http://mindstar.com/currency[/url] At that point you would have a beautiful online album of your type collection ... allowing you to easily share with others around the world You probably could even customize the online "album" adding new slots for new types as they are produced (images are easy to edit and text is easy to add!) You can then put the rare coins in your safe deposit box (where they belong!) and keep the rare ones in their slabs. Darkhorse, if you want to email me a scan of that one page of your album you posted (a straight on view as large and clear as possible) ... one for the front and one for the back ... i would gladly (for free) reformat the images and post it to a web site to show you what i mean ... you could then download all the images and web site html that i made, for your own use (posting and modifying as you see fit) ... i think that would be a really cool project. My email address is [email]paul@mindstar.com[/email] if your interested. If not, or if you want to try doing that yourself, no worries.[/QUOTE]
