Eisenhower Coin Board

Looking forward to it.

It'll only take 17,761 years to fill that 19776 - V1 hole. I can wait.

Making something like the capitol is way over my budget, there nice though.

I thought about having the slots sized to fit capsules but the thickness of them make it tough to frame. plus the cost of the coin board material goes up.

I like it, but why the seal as the focus graphic?




Is coin board any different than book board?

Also depending on the framing you could use the "coin board" not having it have to be so thick and add the idea of "messing with it in" like those baseball card holders from years gone by. Put screws through plexiglass on the front that go into recesses in the frame and the plexiglass is flush with the coin capsules. That way your "coin board" in its frame is also a shadow box and you could have a section at the bottom to have a silica packet held in by the plexiglass that will keep moisture away from the board itself, and be able to replace the packet every so often so the type doesn't weather as quick over time. Well also the plexiglass would protect from moisture from the front as well, and could even work without capsules.

or is plexiglass not coin safe to make a shadow box display? (was actually thinking about making shadow boxes to display some coins myself so here is as good a place as any to ask I guess.)

I like affordable.

Besides, there is nothing preventing someone from using a fancy frame or creating their own PMMA housing.

Inside.

inside the gold look great,that look real nice.

Frames are easy to get and they allow people to add a personal touch.

I have three different framed coin sets I got when I was a kid, back in the early 1980's. The frames were cheap plastic with no glass, just a thin piece of acetate. When I got older I wanted them to look nicer, so I bought new frames with glass.
