I am currently in the process of completing a slabbed short set of Mercury dimes (1941-45) in MS65-66. I'm really not sure how to display this, I understand they could go in an storage box. Where's the fun in that? I would like to know if there is any way to display these 15 coins? Would I have to make a frame/stand?

You could do a light house album with their certified coin pages. They hold 9 on a page and have a couple different album sizes depending on how many pages you want

or I have found a few glass top display cases that hold 8 slabbed coins. Here are two examples:

Album pages designed to hold slabs is the way to go.

I'm not sure If the album pages would give the eye appeal that a box/case like one that Fuzzy has suggested.
I was browsing that site and think I may have found the perfect match:

I think I would feel like James Bond bringing that in, unlocking it, and revealing my set of dimes and all of my slabbed coins.

Handcuff it to your wrist too so it looks extra important

And most of all, I must be wearing a tuxedo during all this.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone, and Fuzzy I'm not sure that I could spend around $150-200 on a display case. Especially if, in the cheapest way possible, the collection could be stored in a PCGS or NGC storage box.
I guess I will continue the search for the case tomorrow.
Goodnight all.

Like the posted link.
I have the black briefcase type case .. being mailed to me
It made it to Ellenwood GA today.

I ordered it from Wizard coin supply. I think it was $42.95, it will hold 3 trays. Trays come in packs of
two, I think $8.95 a pack. Over $50.00 order has a $9.95 shipping option. Should end up being around $70.00.
Of course there is always a lot more to order from Wizard.

They do have one that is a little Cheaper, $37.95.
Please check prices, if interested .. I am going by memory and not looking them up.


Here is the case I have now.

I bought two cases similar to these for my collection, at a church jumble sale, for two bucks each.
They are large enough to hold two full size ring binders each.
Album pages for slabs, for these ring binders, are available.
