    Not the greatest photos in the world for seeing the coins, but eh, what can you do. Haven't gotten around to individually imaging them all yet (indeed, I wonder if that will ever happen at all).

    Are all those coins "holed" beforehand or did you drill some? Just curious. :stinkyfeet:

    Wash yer mouth out with soap! I would never drill them. Aside from being economically stupid (by ruining good coins), that would be "cheating" for a true holey collector to do that.

    All of those holes are at least a century old.

    Thanks. It might stretch some people's definition of "wonderful" a bit. ;)

    But hey, sometimes wounded coins need some lovin', too.

    I love the mounting technique!!! In theory, you could have used staples :jawdrop::p, but the pins are way better!!! :singing:

    Looks great! I will get back to mine in a few months when things calm down. I have most, but I don't think I will ever find a twenty cent piece to complete it.

    I still need a holey 20c piece myself, as you can see.

    The stick pins on the cork board was a great idea! :D

    Thanks. People do it with dead bugs, so why not holey coins, right? :)
