[QUOTE="biged239, post: 1702048, member: 29948"]As a collector only. I find that having all my coins cataloged with pictures, do two things. One, I can pull up any coin on my computer and view the coin obverse and reverse at any time and it only takes a couple seconds. I take all pics at 14 meg. so I can blow them up to see just anything I wont to look at. Second, I am getting old and blind. So I can see the coin better in the pictures than I can with a magnifier. This also gives me the option when I want to do some upgrading I can have the coin picture with me on my phone (linked to my catalog) and see the coin I have verses the upgrade needed.
