They would best be displayed over at my house !......


Now that sounds like the type of suggestion that is being verfy helpfull and considerate. At his or my house they would be safe and you wouldn't have to worry about buiding anything. With the money you saved on that you could just pay the postage to me also.
One more suggestion. Look around for one of those plastic display cases for watches, cameras, etc. The ones that are on the taller side with shelves of clear plastic. Some of these also come with lighting. Some rotate and have small lights inside. You could put little plastic posts up to hold the coins at about a 45 degree angle on the shelves. This could be placed on a table or stand in any room. You could decorate the top with a fake, large coin for appearances. Now your coins could be seen as the case rotates from all sides and if you wanted to get a little silly you could use colored bulbs if you have the cases that use these.
I've seen cases like this at most flea markets used for just about everything where a seller does not want people touching but wants them to be able to see the item completely.
Now is there a reward for the best idea?

I saw exactly what I was explaining Sunday at a flea market. A guy had one and was using it for digital cameras. It was about 3 feet high, had movable shelves so as to display different sized items, rotated. I asked if it had lights and the guy looked at me as if I was nuts. He did say are you aware that the sun is out and blinding me as it is. Possibly take off your sun glasses. I did take the time to mention this post though so he wouldn't go around saying what a idiot he met today.

Every time I try to upload a pic, it keeps going to a url not found screen. I can get to the page where I upload the pic, then when I click the upload button is as far as I can get.
Rest in Peace

Under the reply to post screen click on the camera icon below where you type message, click browse and find image. Make sure the file size is not too large, under 100K.
If that fails try this

Yep, I think it was about security, or maybe it was about displaying coins!. The reason I posted them again is because Keith mentioned ASE's and this thing was made for them. They fit perfect. Plus, it displays nicely and has a little security. Well, it'll keep out the riff-raff.
