Since June 2019, I am uploading photos of coin edges based on my collection and/or coins that I acquire. I know that Cyrillus is a notable coin edge uploader, notably in Euro coins. Now, I uploaded over 30 coin edges in different coin pages, all of them are the coins that I have and also, before I uploaded them, all of them were no photos of coin edges on its coin pages.

Who are the other coin edge uploaders?

Sometimes I do take coin edge photos but not often I’ve only done it several times but hopefully I would do more in the future.

If varieties I do, but just normal ones never, why would I spend my time on that? The description is already there: plain, reeded etc!

I might as well get started on uploading edges on a couple of coins I got!

Many of my coins are in a 2×2, which makes impossible to take edge photos.
It's even difficult to take normal pictures due to reflection in the plastic centre.

If Possible yes as with a side view it is Distinctive on how the Coin is Made and from which side it has been Struck/Punched and with this the estimated period of time it was produced regarding undated Coins and Medals.
