well I have no idea what coin boards go for without a frame and glass and such so I only know those State Quarters maps are about $20 or more retail. For those who missed their chance to get a birth-year set or who were born prior to the mint offering thing, that is mostly what I was thinking of. so I am curious what a cost of one of these things would be and what they look like. I will probably wrongly apply the addage, but a coin board is only worth what people will pay for it, so who knows what anyone would buy.  good luck on the design you already have produced and sold/selling. I will be watching for a board that catches my eye and creates the itch for me to acquire it. |

last one and then I'm done playing graphic design for a bit, its not perfect as far as spacing and errors but this is the idea I came up with for a JFK coin board. I wanted to include the presidentials. The Mint only slot would be a removable plug.  |

Interesting. Why the gap between 1965 and 1967?

I messed up and didn't realize I did that, it was late so I didn't feel like moving all the texts over. That's the general idea of the board though.

Ah, okay. I will then assume that the bottom row will six holes, not four, and the two 1987 holes will have plugs like the 1970-D.

Cool. I think it will look pretty good when all is said and done.

Those 3 plugs will make all the difference in the world to having a complete board. Many people will not try to fill them as casual collectors of pocket change finds. Not that a kennedy is found in many pockets today, but project $100k is trying to change that. but having a reason why the board isn't complete is very good, and it doesn't leave gaps to wonder why 70, and 87 aren't present. Maybe someone has the board and has those coins in their original mint packaging so why put it in the board? Now the board says so. I like it a lot. If only ALL boards, folders, etc had those plugs to non-circulation coins (NIFC like proofs) more people would be interested in them. I love the Pre$ being included also. As a minor change to the PShop file, you could, when finished aligning everything, just leave blank to let people fill with ANY halves be it Kennedy, Franklin, whatever in whatever set they wish to display with no plugs. Just an idea for a future product, no rush to see the design of it yet.
keep up the good work!

yeah, I think the plugs are the way to go. I thought of having a blank dated board. I was thinking about this one a while back, a fellow coin board collector suggested more of a type set, thats when I went with the 20th century type set.  |

On the Kennedy board, you may want to mark the "2015" as "2015-P" since there will be a mint mark on the coin. Tragically, as has been said ad nauseum, the MM is on the edge so no one will know once it's seated in the board.

The type board looks interesting. Like a sampling of types.

Thanks Celticknot, I didnt even think about the P mint mark, I'll have to add it on the Eisenhower board too.
Yeah Jbuck that was sorta the idea since a complete set would be so expensive but then I realized that this is a board nobody would actually want lol.

Just Finished up the JFK board design, I have to space it a little better but I like how it came out. I might go ahead and get a sample made for this too. anything this board need or don't need?  |

I like the added "reverse" to see the eagle.... or Independence Hall, whichever the collector prefers.
