    Here's the sort of thing I'm doing.
    From my World Birth Year set:

    And from my Japanese Occupation of China category:

    Nothing fancy about them.
    I just want good images and informative labeling.

    P.S. This is a long, slow process. But with the "sheltering in place" I've got the time.

    I've got Photoshop Elements and I use it to put the displays together.
    For the text I believe I use Times New Roman Bold.
    It's a nice proportional font with serifs.

    Looks like Amazon has a down-loadable 2020 version on special at the moment for about $60.

    Be advised, there is a learning curve involved with Photoshop Elements with varying levels of difficulty depending on the function you're attempting.

    Pretty cool. How do you photo your coins?

    If they are in slabs I use my camera.
    Raw coins I scan (at 600 dpi).
