We had a local antique (flea market type) store with one of those. Had a lot of over priced coins in it.

Yeah...I sort of remember those cases where the shelves moved up and down. But the ones I'm looking for weren't quite that fancy, and the pages (which is a better choice of words than my original "panels") swayed left and right.

This is what you are comparing it to, right?

Yessir!! Now just use your imagination to eliminate the two rows of buttons along the bottom, the glass bubble and the coin slot on the top. Then use your imagination to make those pages (or leaves) each about two feet tall and 16 inches deep and loaded up with coins instead of song titles and you've got it. (I have to admit that looking at it and NOT using my imagination makes me hungry for a burger and fries!!)

@FreeSpeech57: About 6 months ago my daughter enrolled me in something called "StoryWorth". Their tagline is "Everyone has a story worth sharing". Basically, every Monday for a whole year, I receive an emailed question asking me about...stuff...I have experienced in my life. My earliest childhood memory, how I met my wife, what my parents were like, the stupidest thing I ever did, how did I get my first job, the first major news story I remember living through...etc. My answers - and associated photos I can come up with in relation to these questions - get emailed back to her, my wife and son and a few others - and also get compiled into a sort of "book" that can be saved with family heirlooms or used as kindling or whatever. This week's question was - "What store did you love to go to as a child?" - and the answer is "Sears" and the reason was because they had coins I could buy for my collection...which I began in 1964. I was hoping to add a photo of the display/rack/whatever this thing was called to my response to the question.

I have been looking off-and-on all day, I cannot find an image out there. Maybe after some rest I can craft a better search string.

It is a nice diversion when my brain gets stuck on a work problem I cannot get around. I do not mind my failures piling up as long as I am diverse.

Quote: JBuck, at Johnny rockets? Possibly, I just pulled a random image from the web. It sure looks like I remember, but the one here closed twenty years ago. They picked a terrible location at the time. They twenty years too soon, it would probably thrive there now.
