So I am currently working on a 20th century type set, and I am looking for a holder to display it in, preferably one that can be framed. This is one I have found pictures of that I love, but I cannot find where to buy it anywhere online.  Any suggestions of where I can go to find this type of display for a type set would be greatly appreciated. |

Yeah, I have seen some of this capital plastics ones. Those look nice, but are a bit pricey. Although if that's the going rate for this type of coin display, I guess that's what I'll have to pay. I found a similar one for 43 bucks, but it doesn't have slots for both silver and clad examples of Roosevelt dimes and Washington quarters, which I would like to have. |

Buy 3 sheets of clear acrylic and invest in a good set of forstner bits. You could even print out a sheet to put names and dates on to sandwhich between the acrylic sheets.

Keep an eye on ebay, there are a number of different 20th Century type set holder they produced over the years. You will find the best price there. As far as making your own, it can be done, but be prepared for many hours of hand work reaming each hole to specifically fit each coin. (did you know that each opening in Capital holders is tapered to hold just that coin?) Capital Plastics holders have an excellent reputation for safely storing coins for many decades. I have holders that I purchased back in the 1960's. Adding your own labels, etc. will have an effect on the coins. A quality holder for quality coins is always a good investment. |

I"ve got one that I filled a long time ago. Problem is it just sits in a bank's safe deposit box.

It seems to kinda defeat the purpose of coin collecting (to me at least) to let a collection sit in a safety deposit box never to actually be enjoyed.

For the record, I actually did make my own this weekend. It's not as nice as one you'd buy obviously, but it's not bad for a stopgap. I'm not too worried about the coins getting damaged, because they probably won't stay in there all that long, and they are all very common dates and grades. You can easily complete this set and not spend more than 25 bucks on any of the coins. I'm not gonna put anything too nice in this little bootleg contraption I put together.

I would go to the $ store and get a piece of poster board, then get a piece of plexiglass, and thena frame, and jsut make my own. maybe gold leaf if you want fancy letters.
knowing my luck, none of that is safe for coins.
