Building a website for your coins

I'm also happy that whoever produces it, can pinch any of my ideas or code.

Well thank you for that, Accumulator! Your contribution to the idea is already significant...and if we could pinch your brass tray handles that would be even better!

As I pinched them too, you are welcome to them! Along with the little brass name plaques and the mahogany veneer

Can we have some coins as well

[declanwmagee 122]

Well there's a load of design ideas in about 16 hours, Greg!

To summarise:

1) Home Page: an array of coin cabinets (have a look at the Peter Nichols selection to see what we mean by coin cabinet), each labelled with a denomination and linked to...

2) A page for each denomination that looks suspiciously like this. Little virtual drawers for each group in the denomination cabinet. Groups might be Reign, or Portions of a reign, whatever best suits that denomination. Clicking on a drawer links to...

3) The coins. We could break it down further: a page per year for instance, with all the varieties, proofs, patterns etc from each year, but I fear the more layers we have the more unwieldy and complex to navigate it gets. Three layers (cabinet, drawer, coins) seems like a nice simple structure and matches the reality of a coin cabinet - you don't have drawers within drawers, as a rule.

Standard size and background from the start, I suggest. Adopting a standard once there's a lot of coins in it would be a pain.

I'll volunteer to do the donkey work on the photos as they come in, for starters.

What do you think, Greg? Think it's do-able?
