Exceptionally nice, SilverDon
The SD have so nice traditional and eye appealing finish...
Painful question:
Being commonly collected item among collectors, hasn't the Silver Dollar got some nice box/case for multiple coins display?

Thanks for the appreciation, they are quite eye catching.
@Silveroid, not painful at all, I did a search for Commem
display cases and got a hit on this forum. This blue felt
case for Commemorative Silver Dollars from 2009.
Likely not available any more but is the perfect size. There
are many for US dollars but not much for Canadian.
These pictures below are from the link from 2009 and the collection of HawkC026  Thanks to HawkC026 for this info in this thread;http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...&whichpage=2Cheers Commems for the J&M referral.

Per their web site, J&M still offer this case (I believe they had it made for them.)

A very beautiful and impressive collection. Any favorites that stand out for you? Mine are the 2008 special edition with maple leaves and goose, enamel 2007 and enamel 2005 flag and lastly 2002 queen mum. I have yet to get the enamel flag and enamel 2006 dollar. The display really makes these pop!!
I really don't understand when collector don't care for a quality display. A nice display case adds so much to the presentation of the coin. The coin tends to standout and commend attention. Those clamshells really don't add any appeal, mainly a way of storage and protection in shipping. I prefer the red cases of the '80's&'90's. they look more pleasing.

Yes @pocket change 50, @HawkC026 certainly has an impressive collection. I see a number
that I have my eye on, including but not limited to the Flying Loon, 1911 Anniv Coin,
Queen Mum (that one may be tough), anything enamel, gold plated. I like the 1982 Regina
the most so far.

The last year the 2002 queen mum has become more affordable. I bought on for $175 USD NGC pr69. My Arizona friend gets them occasionally and will at times sell reasonable. He always trying for the elusive Pr70. I've picked up many reasonable silver dollars from him. The collection in the photos is amazing, it's something I'm working on completing. I'm going to check & see if J & M still sell the case.
I'm kind of torn on how to display the collection as my silver dollars are a mix of graded and ungraded.

Those are beautiful coins Silver Don, you have a nice collection started. I'm very impressed with your photos, what's your secret to getting such nice black contrast? I can never get my photos to look like the ones you posted.
Yesterday my 2015 Charlton Nclt catalog arrived, along with my 2 1 gram gold maples. They are an awesomely cool coin, however, oh so tiny!! I definitely need to use a loupe on them.

Thanks @pocket change 50, I took @Commems advice and used a
scanner (600 dpi min) on the bottom two pics and dialed
down the brightness. Some of the ghosting disappears.

I was playing with my camera and tripod today and want to display some of my pics.
I have to do quality control this time of year on the last pic.

Oh, no. Not a cookie shaped coin with Murano glass icing. The mint has sunk too far.
;)
Great pics. I wish I could get decent pics.

Great idea for a theme,
I'm sure mint spies are watching.
Have to test another now. 
Thanks for the compliment.
