Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 2:30 pm You know I always wanted to store my Tets in a small leather drawstring purse, and have them half spilt out for display...now that would be awesome, but one has to consider the negative effect being in contact with dyed leather and other coins had on each of the specimens. There is also no room for the attribution information. It would be cool anyways! Report this Post to the Staff

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 3:12 pm I have an idea for you, Ancientnoob. Something similar...I saw a picture of a display of ancient coins in a museum once. They had the coins spilling out of a ceramic jar that was on its side (to mimick how people would store their coins long-term in ancient times). In order to protect the coins from touching each other they put small pieces of linen inbetween each coin so they would be separated, but no cloth could be seen to anyone viewing the exhibit. How does that sound? You can find ceramic pots that are made to look like their real ancient counterparts, or you could go all out and spend some serious $$$ and get an authentic ancient pot (would be very hard to get or even find).
