So what thoughts do any of you have on my changing my tempered glass on my display case to an Acrylic Non Glare UV protection? Should I leave the glass, or use the Acrylic? The guy designing the base and sides suggested it. Do you think he is trying an up sale?

Glass. Glass can be cleaned so much more often with so many more products than acrylic can.

Acrylic WILL scratch and mark and each one 'refracts' the light making vision through to the coins difficult.

No choice. Glass.

I agree with glass, it will hold up way better over time.
