Thanks for the info wvparadox. I think these may be the ones jdfindring once posted pics of what he used for his ASEs. He once posted a pic of them:

I think they work well, but admit I do not like the look of the "strap" that holds the capsule in. In fact it was the Eagle albums that got me to thinking about trying to see if anyone made pages with the bottom of the capsules already built in (all one would need do is insert the coin and snap the top on).
Tapping is easy and done by hand. Countersinking is easy with a drill press (can be done carefully by hand). I suggest you go to a Mom and Pop hardware store, give then an idea of what you want to do, and ask their help. The fun part is planning and drawing the layout. Also make sure the spade drill bit you use is sharp.
I have been thinking of making more of these cases for other sets. I already did one for Canadian George V nickels - but it was a rush job so I am not happy with it. But I had some scrap plexiglass laying around so decided to do it.

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
