Very nice indeed ... Curious, is this a hobby, or your trade?   EDIT => sorry, I should always read to the end, before I ask a question! (hobby => wow, nice hobby!) Ummmm, if you do eventually get visitors to your bedroom, make sure that you skin-search them before they leave in the morning!? => I'm just sayin' Edited by stevex6

I love that the type set is hinged!
What a great great idea. Are all of the displays on the walls hinged or just that one?
Gorgeous job. Absolutely stunning. Your house looks like a museum!

The only one hinged so you can see the back is the 20th century type set. And thanks for the compliments!

Very nice work.
I believe it would be rather SUPER COOL to find an antique "coin cabinet" that I have read about.

Wow, beautiful. I am planning on building coin trays for my collection and while I am not quite as skilled a wood worker as you are I am decent. I have a question as I plan on using birch plywood for most of the construction and probably laminating a hardwood venier and using a thick lacquer coating. I am going to keep the coins in air tights. Do you think the lacquer will seal the wood enough to keep everything stable so I don't ruin my coins?
I have a rather large cabinet that I am retro fitting the trays into as it is part of my furniture set and is no longer being used to hold anything in. I am just planning on making each tray of two sandwiched pieces of ply with the top holed out for the individual coins to fit in so I can take maximum advantage of the available space. Any thoughts?

I'm liking that frame of the 100 Trillion Dollars. I may have to do this myself! It's a great conversation piece in itself.

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I had something like that to display my coins - or that many nice coins to display.

Oh my! I am so jealous right now of your displays and your coins! Absolutely gorgeous! A very organized set up and very impressive. You did great on the "show case" pieces. I am in awe. You have a wonderful talent. The coins and the "wood work" will be around long after we are all gone. That is such a great thing to leave behind. They will be greatly appreciated to whom ever gets them. |

I am going to go find a corner, curl up and cry throughout the (long) weekend.  ...or I could get some ideas from your storage methods! I like the woodwork!  Very nice collection you have...it's no wonder I can't the nice coins anymore. Edited by oih82w8

Very impressive displays and woodwork! Where did you get the boards for your sets and type set?

Type set plastic holder is from Capital Plastics, the Lincoln set boards are from Whitman, reprint of a 1940's / 50's coin board and available at many bookstores or ebay, the merc and IHC boards are vintage 30's / 40's boards I picked up over time on ebay. David Lange (sp?) usually has some for sale, he is the authority on coin boards, just google search coin boards and look for his name. |
