War Nickel Display Help

Since I'm a amti slab person I would just take them all out of the slabs and put them in a normal, regular, everyday Album. I just can't see keeping a pile of plastic with coins inside as if they were a painting. I sometimes think we are mostly investers, not coin collectors due to so many always saying if you want to sell them, you'll get more in slabs. YES, that is true. Yes if in a PCGS slab, also worth more money if you plan on selling them.
Myself, I don't sell coins. I never have and at my age to late to even start selling them. I've purchased coins in slabs in the past but broke them out for Albums. Even if I somehow came accross a multi thousand dollar coin in a slab, it would end up in my Albums.
So if I were you I'd simply place them all in Albums so I could sse them all and all the others right next to them.

I would do a custom display of it were me. Maybe with some WWII paraphernalia along with them? But then again I will almost always choose a custom display over slabs or albums. Most of my hobbies are really just excuses for me to build stuff anyways.

I know how awesome that set would look in a Capital holder because I've seen a very nice BU set in one once.

I'd say Capital holder, keep the PCGS/NGC cert. inserts.

I can't imagine someone breaking out high grade coins like that out of a slab. I would keep them and make a display with the slabs.

That would be extremely amazing to have 10 sets like that. I was doing that a few years ago and then I stopped a little short. I do have a raw BU set I bought in the 80s, in a single plastic holder, so I know they make them for it, if you have a raw set.

And I don't suggest hanging the display of coins on the wall, since sunlight will ruin them. It is unfortunate to not display them like that, but they will lose value. It is sad, but what else can you do to preserve them. That's why museums are dark and don't have windows near the displays. It isn't to save energy, but preserve the exhibits.

And here are a few displays to give you some ideas on what to look for:

They have some display frames too, but I think they are too small for that many slabs.

And they have a few for rare wartime nickel sets too. Here is one example:

I have been very lucky and have found many War Nickels while roll searching but they are almost always very dark (almost black) it would be nice to find one from time to time that is as shiny as those pictured above, just looks weird having those really dark nickels in my danso with all the other hole fillers that are nice and pretty.

I say stop pondering because that sounds like a good idea.

Please feel free to show it to us when you after complete it.

Gonna do it, going with the shadowbox idea with pics, purple heard and coins. I have already got pics of my mom and dad on their wedding day (dad in his uniform), dad outside a barracks somewhere and my mom's hot pic. Also got the purple heart and will be getting my dads discharge papers in a couple of weeks. The next issue is the coins. I have decided on capital holders, but, it will take two sets to show the obv and rev; at all ms66, that gets into a chunck of money. Oh well, I think it will be pretty cool and I know my dad will like it. By the way, short story, my dad had only known and dated my mom for only two weeks when he when he left Birmingham, Alabama for Camp Rucker (in south Al) for deployment overseas. He went awol on Friday night, married my mom on Saturday and was back at Camp Rucker on Sunday. He shipped out on Tuesday and was overseas for 28 months. My grandmother swears she had to point my dad out to my mom when he got off the train in Birmingham. Must have been something special, they have been married for 67 years.
