Thanks valleyco, I didn't notice the typo till now. lol I'm sure I would of eventually.
The cardstock I've used on other coin boards will do the job, It will have to be slightly thicker due to the ike thickness.
Do you think the 1990 commem and the 2013 5star would be the only two used to fill those slots? Those are there only two I had in mind.
I was considering having removable plugs for the two commemorative slots since must people probably don't want to remove them from a capsule.

Those are the only commemorative issues that depict Eisenhower so those would be the only logical choices.

My thinking was maybe to use a ww2 commemorative but I do like the idea of having it say 1990 Eisenhower and 2013 5-Star Generals. I'm going to make the change and see how it looks.

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

I would buy one thats how much I like it! How about encapsulating the board like you see with the removable screws that secure it!

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 think you should leave it as it. It makes for a good everyman set now. |

I like it, but why the seal as the focus graphic? Quote:
plus the cost of the coin board material goes up 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.) |
