The frame is actually 2 pieces of 8x10 Acrylite acrylic. The back is black and the front is Acrylite OP-3 P-99 which is museum conservation grade. And it's held together with Swiss corner clips. http://www.texasart.com/store/view/...er-Clips.htm

My original plan was to buy black foamboard and cut out the circles for the coins, like a Dansco album. However, that is IMPOSSIBLE! So, I ordered the airtite holders and used archival double-stick tape to hold it to the acrylic.

Gorgeous display. Just a thought but noticed where you'd like to use larger images. You may want to take a look at the "Uploading Images" section here. It explains how you can use an off-site server for your images and you don't have to actually upload it here. Maybe you already did that? Your images look pretty large to me. This is an image I uploaded to imageshack.com. They're free and you don't even have to register. The image enlarges if you click on it.

The mercury is a 1924-D that I paid $3.50 for off ebay. I didn't mean to pay that much for a mercury but apparently it's a key date. lol
