<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 4507424, member: 83175&quot;]Nice coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been reorganising my coins a bit, both physically and virtually - I had more than a year&#039;s worth of purchases to put into trays and am getting through them.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Roman Republican coins (about 700 at the moment), are mostly in a pile of Abafil trays and stored online on Tantalus.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a long list on a webpage (which needs some updating), ordered by Crawford numbers, which links to the Tantalus data.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m very slowly working on a database which will improve selection/sorting, but it&#039;s not currently operational.&nbsp;&nbsp; I bought some books on MySQL and PHP in about 2008 and have periodically attacked it - maybe if this lockdown continues into the summer...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, last weekend, I got to arranging the the first batch of Roman post-Republican coins (Augustus) and put most of them into a tray (6 x 9).&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s also a tray of earlier ones, which made it into Crawford and so are in the RR section and I have a couple more Augustus coins which will join them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, I took a photo&#039; of the tray and made an imagemap to link the pics to Tantalus data.</p><p><br /></p><p>My photos are mostly very bad for these and the pic of the tray is too large, so it may work better if you zoom out on the web page to see it all, or you&#039;ll have to scroll around:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.uggool.net/trays/Augustus_tray.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.uggool.net/trays/Augustus_tray.html" rel="nofollow">http://coins.uggool.net/trays/Augustus_tray.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I can autogenerate imagemaps if I take a standard size of photograph of each tray - e.g. using a copystand - and record the position of each coin in the database.&nbsp;&nbsp; In this case, the same imagemap code is used for each tray, with just the links being updated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alternatively, I could dice up the pictures into a grid of 6x9 (or 7x11 for the RR silver) images and have a mouseover for each one which brought up some information and a click could bring you to the page for each coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or generate a virtual coin tray on-demand, which would update itself automagically with each new addition.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, at my rate of progress, the lockdown will have to continue for the rest of the roaring twenties if I&#039;m to get this done <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
