[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1269415, member: 13307"]I'd say with a fair degree of certainty that Napoleon might never have come in contact with such a low denomination as a half cent... :) But honestly, as another person who enjoys not only the beauty and excitement of coins and their collection...I do have lots of fun thinking to myself, "How on earth did a coin in THIS great of shape survive over 100 years...and I find it in pocket change? (Most likely answer: grandchildren.)" As far as reports, I would really love a great, easy, well-designed software that allowed me to view my virtual coin collection (i.e., with photos and stats - when/where purchased, how much, what I've sold, increases in value, etc.) I want software that will automatically gather data from a number of different sources (eBay, Numismedia, PCGS, Heritage, Red Book, etc.) to get up to date values of my coins. I want software that will, based on a digital photo of my coin, give me a "guesstimate" of grade based on certain criteria. I want software that will also automatically download basic stats for coins and allow me to search and sort based on key terms, like baseball stats - what coin has the lowest mintages (but still display price info, so I can say "Hey, that coin has a really low mintage and a lower price point, I should try to find one of those.) Just a few wishes! Most of all, I want the interface to be straightforward but stunningly beautiful - so it displays my coin images in a way that I can truly appreciate them.[/QUOTE]
