nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 05:47 am So I have been neglecting my coins for far to long. I have spent more time at sea than I have on land and when I am on Land I have not had any free time to indulge in my hobby. I set aside three hours a night over the last four days to do something hobby related. This is what I came up with. Its a prototype and as such I used scrap wood and parts I had on hand. but I think the finished item looks quite good and might encourage me to build a better version Edited by nohope587 02/01/2014 06:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 06:02 am the size of the slots is such that a Two Cent in an airtite fits just right. I would have to make the boxes bigger for slabs Raw cons might work but I would have to pay more attention to the materials used. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 10:48 am Nice for presentations. Just where are you going to use that? Sort of large for so few coins but if great coins, then some really nice way to show them. Not sure if the backlighted method helps but without better photos, difficult to tell. Not sure if I'd ever even try to make that or something like it. Really nice. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/02/2014 09:24 am Took it to the farmers market yesterday and even in direct sunlight it still adds a shine to what ever is in the tray. I was approached by several of the other vendors and asked where I got it from. So it certainly catches the eye. I think its time to start on a MK2 with a little better planning I can completely hide the lights and wires. Report this Post to the Staff

Already working on the next version. That is commitment.
