I have a collection of 10-15 elongated coins that I want to put in a display type case or box thing. Most of them are pennies but there are some foreign coins. They are all of sentimental value only. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a few hundred in little display albums that I collected as a kid when I went places. You can find them in touristy places a lot for five dollars.

These are two common dates. Some places make custom branded ones like sea world, smokey mountains, and sea world.

Thanks! I'll try to find one sometime soon. The problem is I don't think all of my elongated coins from foreign countries will fit.

Another option you may want to try is a shadow box. They make great display cases. They can accommodate any size coin or bar. The coins will look great under glass. They come in all different sizes and shapes and can be picked up at your local hobby or art stores. I like them because it allows me to see my coins and bars instead of just having them in a book or box inside my safe.

I'll most likely use the album for pressed pennies that fits 48 coins since I'm traveling across the country soon and will get more pressed coins

I use and like the lighthouse 48 coin album. It fits many sizes. The biggest I have is a pressed quarter, and that fits well in this album. I also have 2 made from 5 cent Euro coins. They fit as well. I also like how I can choose which direction I display the coin, especially for the vertical ones.

I recently found one at a gift shop that fits 20 for only $2.99. When my elongated coin collection increases I'll buy a larger one online.
