[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3441699, member: 10461"]This can be done for my presently small collection (which is at 49 pieces as of the last update). But yeah, if you have [I]thousands[/I] of coins, it wouldn't be feasible. I've been there. But since my "Great Purge of 2013", I've subscribed to the "less is more" philosophy.
