gxseries Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 As mentioned a while ago, I have finally decided to get a bit serious and do a bit of work on presenting Soviet commemorative ruble. All of the coins are circulated and the mintage numbers are for total - uncirculated and proof. There is one coin that I had to use a proof coin as I didn't take a good photo of the UNC coin that I had. They are about 600kb each and 5 pages in total. http://gxseries.com/dump/soviet_comm_pg01_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/soviet_comm_pg03_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/soviet_comm_pg05_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/soviet_comm_pg07_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/soviet_comm_pg09_small.jpg Quite happy the way I presented them. It's quite tight but represents everything that I wanted. Now I'll have to do the same for the reverse - I just can't get inspired to do it... as well as the other projects that I have in mind.

mmarotta Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I am curious about the folders. Who made them? Were they a product of the USSR? I ask because of some of the terminology. It is a niggling little point, perhaps, but we in the West call the bad guys "Nazi Germany" not "Fascist Germany." The distinction is important. I can understand the USSR wanting to distance itself from National Socialism ... lest there be any misunderstandings... Also, Lenin wrote a minor essay called "Social Fascism" in which he denounced right revisionism as "socialism in name, Fascism in reality." That dialectic echoed the old radical imagery of the radish: Red on the outside but White on the inside. Normally, things like scepters and eagles and orbs carry only so much meaning, but with Marxism-Leninism, everything is meaning. So, I was wondering where the folders were made.

gxseries Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Mike, I made the album. I've grabbed the translation off wikipedia and had to take it for granted as pinch of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Wow... you made the album... I am impressed! You said that you are an engineer, but clearly, you have the The Knack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I guess the reality of an engineer is that he or she is expected to find solutions for everything. Mike - this is actually a digital coin album that I've designed in photosho - shouldn't have used the word "made" although I am tempted to make one from scratch. More to come.
