Good Day
I'm relatively new to this forum and to NCLT, it started with a gift of 3 of the canoe 20 for 20's and now I have ordered and received the Polar Bear and have subscribed to the series.
I am curious as to how others are displaying or storing their coins.

Nothing fancy here. The first three are still in there little individual cardboard folders. The canoe series is still in the clear folders stuck to the inside of the RCM folder. I have a few storage chests that I keep everything in. |

Welcome ChuckB!
I just store mine in a small rubbermaid contain... I don't have many NCLT's, I just buy the ones I personally like for various reasons and skip the ones I don't like. If you wanted to display them you could get drawers lined with that black material and has holes recessed. Some guys on here have them for their dollar collections etc... I think they look nice done that way. Maybe they will post up a picture for you and you could find a size that will work for the 27mm coins and their capsules. Just an idea.
(Just so you know this is the NCLT sub-forum (it's at the bottom for a reason - I make joke ;)) and opinions are going to vary greatly as these products are sold as collectables - which I believe makes them open to opinions).

^^^ The spread between silver and face is too close though.
They should just make a billion of them and make it the $20 circulating coin.

True, true... but a one ounce silver maple has a face value of $5. So, this quarter ounce... well, we know it won't circulate... much. Fact is that SMLs and $20s for $20s are both NCLT, so, my point is, to me it's just an over priced bullion coin. Again, to each his own and a tidy profit for the RCM. The $20s for $20s are much more profitable for the RCM to produce as opposed to SMLs. Just sayin' is all...  |

Nice sets, the bald eagle stands out amongst the crowd. Sure makes it easier to have the 2x2 slots to fit them in for viewing than having to pull each box out separately.
What is the bird in the far right top corner?

Nice collection. May I ask where you got that tray.

@ChuckB: I bought it from colonialacres, it's lighthouse tray, J&M has it too @RogerD: yes, it's much easier to enjoy them this way than opening the boxes one by one, besides, as a tradition, RCM changed the packaging in the middle of the series. |

Finally put my first 20 for 20 in a 2x2.I had been carrying it around when it first came out to try and spend it,It's definitely an AU coin now.I had considered giving it away in a contest but now it has some sentimental value.Circulated coins are always more interesting somehow,even when they weren't meant to circulate.

Great looking display there Silverbug.
does anyone have experience handcrafting wooden cases? I have a friend who's into wood working that can help me out. thinking something along the lines of the 2004 silver privy maple leaf set, but made of wood.
