WeLikeIke New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 12/17/2015 9:33 pm Does anyone have any suggestions for coin holders that can hold very large (>60mm) and very thick (>5mm) medals? The largest holders I can find are Quadrum XL holders and they only go up to 55mm in size. Additionally, some high relief medals I have will not fit in them because the holders are too thin. I know that I could send them off to a professional coin grader and get them slabbed but I would rather not bother with that. Report this Post to the Staff

Take the guts out of one of these boxes, and make a thick wood inlay into the box, slightly largre than the coin and line it with velvet material. Set the medal into it's new home. I have done this with screw encapsulated coins. The value of the item has to justify the small expense and large effort required. Report this Post to the Staff

They are a 3D printing facility, you can also hire 3D designers to create your project as well. I have friends that use them all the time in making prototypes and model parts. They do great work. http://www.shapeways.com/ They have quite a few case designs and display stands already in their shopping section. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
