I have some subscription coins that look fantastic but they are far too big to put in my albums. Most of the other coins in the series are about crown size and 1oz these larger coins are 50mm and about 2oz. I like them but I can't store them like the others in 2x2's in my albums and have to keep them in their original boxes.   Sellers image   Edited by trout1105

The Adelaide pound cost me $97.99 The Johanna cost me $101.10 The penny cost me $72 The Sydney half sovereign cost me $80 The Decimal Currency cost me $69.50 The Old parliament hose cost me $44.50 The New Parliament house cost me $45.50 The Proclamation cost me $37.62 The Majestic images cost me $40.04 Just under $600 so far  Book value on these is $945 They are a bit expensive but for another $400 or maybe less, I should be able to finish this set. I keep finding nice commemorative florins to buy so I only get these every now and then. It will be a bit sad when I have them all  I do have duplicates of a few of them tho |

I only have four, trout. I happened to buy a silver replica set called America's Legendary Coins a while back. The twelve coins came in a nice felt lined wooden box. The slots within were designed for the 2 oz. coins. Once I tired of them, I started putting all my oversized coins in it. Can't say this helps you much. You may want to consider commissioning a nice display case if you can't find anything online that will meet your needs.
Here's what I've collected so far:
(2) 1999 $1 Majestic Images- 3 Faces- 19.50 each
2000 $1 Cartwheel Penny of 1797- 29.25
2003 $1 Holey Dollar & Dump 1813 Colony of NS Wales- 44.50
2004 $1 Last Penny- 38.00

not sure you could find them locally, but they do make 2.5x2.5 flips and 3-ring binder pages to hold them. They just happens to hold 12 flips. Edited by Fuzzy317

You need a binder with 3-ring pages to hold 2.5x2.5 flips. What size and color binder would you like, and how many of these 3-ring pages do you want?

Now you are talking couldn't care what colour it is as long as I get a home for these oversize coins, I hate leaving them in their boxes because it makes them a real pain in the butt to view and it isn't the way I like to collect my coins. 5 or 10 pages will do nicely as a start PM returned |
