Organizing collection, printing flags and info.

So I decided to print coin-holder-sized labels to better show my coins on my binders, I did some macros on Photoshop to speed up the process, but I'm having issues when resizing flags and I am googling each one and doing researches of some, it is a quite interesting job, but would be more easy if I could use the Numista site flags somehow.

Any computer expert knows a way get all the flags from the site? Or a site with all world flags in the same size, so I can resize them by photoshop macros. The Numista flags are very tiny, I am not even sure there are large versions of them.

Any ideas? Or anyone using this way to store the coins have some improvment suggestion?


Example of what I am doing:



Any comment is welcome =)

​Thank you very much, amazing site, that was really helpful!

As you know I recently had a similar project with my 2 Euro collection

I am way too busy right now but I wish to organize my entire collection that way.

Please share some photos once you are ready. I would love to see the final product.

​I've seen your job and it's extremely beautiful! It is a higher level of organization, awesome! You did something really remarkable!

My intention is much more modest, I have around 3.000 coins so would be super expensive and work-consuming to add a custom coin holder for each one, so I am doing those 5x5 labels to put in the first coin holder of the binder, followed by the coins of the country.

Thank you for sharing your collection!

I do something similar. Here is one page:

The squares are exactly 2x2 and I print it on 110lb cardstock, cut out and fold just like a regular holder.

Examples of the "final product":

Yes Smoked_Caramel, that's the way I'm going to store them! But I will not put all of them on coin holders because:

- Some coins have less value than a coin holder;
- Many coins have small variations, I do not think they deserve a full space on my album, so I put more than one in each slot;
- On getting new coins, I have to re-ordenate almost the entire binder =(

Btw, amazing collection you have!

hi Geison,

I am working on the same thing, I did mine a little different. I made a 2x2 square in word and them put a circle in the middle the same as the size of the coin. them put all my info on the paper. I will take a picture with my phone and add it to the post later.

​Which "folders"? Do you mean the pages with metal grommets? If so, local store sells them. But I've seen exact ones or very similar in pretty much any store here in Toronto area.

​I like this one a lot. Did you tape it on a 2×2, or how did you print on the 2×2?

Great work! Are you able to share the final product as well? 

Can anyone tell me how is the best way to make those flag and country information folders? Some good ideas for what to use of program and so?

 

I want a text (country name) and flag at the very least :)

 

Hope some of you can help, since you've made some different very good information holders!

I've been using it to print country/flag for 2X2 pages.

Geison…But I will not put all of them on coin holders because:

- Some coins have less value than a coin holder

 I don't agree, il I collect a coin, this coin deserve a place in my book
 

- Many coins have small variations, I do not think they deserve a full space on my album, so I put more than one in each slot;

When you are interested in variations, it might be interesting to get details about these variations, for exemple all these variations on Peru coins …
 

- On getting new coins, I have to re-ordenate almost the entire binder =(
Sure, Sure, Sure ! So I usually prefer to let space for future coins
 

I've made these at work on my down time. They are stickers that are about

1"x1.25". They peel and stick. Some maybe wrong and some could be added.

Still a work in progress. Any ideas or changes will be made. They can be made

smaller or larger.
