I think you might have to spell out specifically what coins are in the set.

What you've got in mind will likely call for a custom made display.
Maybe find someone who does crafting in acrylic.

Sounds like a wonderful set.

Yes, an inventory of the set would help track down a proper holder. We cannot be the first people in 150 years to seek one.

MintedNotPrinted: That is pretty close to what I would like to find. I'd like to ind one that includes the Indian Head cent, Shield nickel, and 3 cent piece as well.

Brandmeister: The coins we have in the set are: Indian Head cent, 3 cent piece, Shield nickel, Seated dime, Twenty Cent Piece, Quarter, half, and Trade dollar.

Vector Ze: I figured we probably would need to do something like that. I'll have to look and see what options are out there for that kind of thing.

I also came accross this display box that would fit everything nicely, but the slots are too small for the Trade dollar

Well, here's a link to an 1876 proof set that was dug up in Chicago. The article says the 8 coin case is a custom acrylic display, but now you know that your configuration at least exists.

Brandmeister what a stunning set of coins. That is exactly the kind of thing I am looking for, if only I could find one

Jbuck I looked at cases similar to this one but they were all out of stock. A case like this one is probably the closest thing I'm going to find, it does look very nice though and I think it would work very well.

Capitol Plastics will do a custom design, but it is a $350 minimum order.

I don't know much about 19th century coin collecting, but I find this situation puzzling. Are only type set display cases available for late 19th century American coins? That doesn't make much sense—surely many people assemble date sets for various years. No?

What about a display like this, and you just carefully drill and label a IHC slot between the two dollar coins? Or turn the Morgan dollar slot into an IHC and 3 cent subdivided slot?

The OP stated The coins we have in the set are: Indian Head cent, 3 cent piece, Shield nickel, Seated dime, Twenty Cent Piece, Quarter, half, and Trade dollar.

So, no Seated dollar, no Half Dime to go in that holder. I guess you can shim two others into those two holes and add a third. Not something I would do though.

Brandmeister that is not a bad idea. Unfortunately, I don't have the requisite equipment to make a modification like that.

Thank you all for the help and brainstorming on this. I will defintely follow up with pics of the final product.
