I see nothing wrong with the white. Cheap is the last thing I would call it.
By the way, I think black with the dark wood would swallow the coins.

I really like it.
I think the white makes the smaller coins look bigger, or at least more in balanced in proportion to the larger center coin.
/agree dark ring would swallow the coins, the white is a stark contrast to the dark wood and draws you into the coins themselves.

I was about to suggest green as well - as in the felt you get in coin trays.

I'd replace the plain white with a darker color like mint green or royal blue. And if you want a regal look that would really enhance the beauty of the coins without overwhelming them, go with velvet fabric. Felt would be a cheaper substitute but lacks the 'royal' look. Nice display!

I think it is a very attractive display. The white does not make it look cheap! The white doesn't take away from the color of the coin. White 2 X 2 holders highlight coins and so do your inserts. Well done.

Not a fan of the white. What about airtites without the foam? IS that moose gold plated on the ATB 5oz? Say it isn't so. |

I still see one small problem. No room for growth. Or are you satisfied that this is the final version? I actually can think of many more coins that would look great in that place.
One more criticism is I would prefer that all the coins of ome size are on different sides. By that I mean a small nad middle sized one on one side and same on the other.
Sure could get complicated if made a lot bigger. Which ones to put where?

I will say it again, I like it. And if you like it, that is all that matters.  |

Thanks to all for your insight. I've decided to keep the white and have all four coins the colored silver. I've since got the 2014 Caribou and it looks quite well as the other two, so just one more to go and I think it'll look pretty nice. I had the display made up by a fellow in the USA and it costs about $100 Canadian to have it made and shipped up here, and I definitely think it's worth the cost. If you're interested, just send me a private message and I'll send you his info. Cheers  Edited by GaryN
