I think the seal gives it more pop, I used it on the 20th century type board I had made and love the look of it. The seal has been used on previous coin boards from other publishers. It reminds me kind of like the kent and 1st edition whitman coin boards which are my favorite.

The cardstock is the same type as a lot of the folders.

Im not sure if plexiglass is safe for coins but if there in capsules, it wouldn't matter. I think I'm seeing your idea but the cost of plexiglass would probably drive the total cost way up. The coin boards are meant to be affordable.

I like affordable.

Besides, there is nothing preventing someone from using a fancy frame or creating their own PMMA housing.

I think I'm close to being done with the set up of the coin board. which way looks better, the presidentials on the inside of the commemoratives or the outside of the commemoratives.

Looking at the 2 possibilities you have I agree, with the 2015 gold on the inside next to the seal.

The plexiglass could be an idea for other people, but if you are selling these and offering a frame, That is where I was thinking plan for it to incorporate into the frame a place for it. Then people can get their own PMMA (as jbuck calls it) and already have the frame ready to accept it.

I just thought you were making something for yourself and figured might as well go big!

I think inside it is, that's what I was thinking too. Thanks for the feedback!!

At this point i'll get one made for me and then decide if I'll make more to sell. If I do sell it will be the board alone with no frame. Its fits a standard 11 x 14 frame so you should be able to find an affordable one.

Frames are easy to get and they allow people to add a personal touch.

I have three different framed coin sets I got when I was a kid, back in the early 1980's. The frames were cheap plastic with no glass, just a thin piece of acetate. When I got older I wanted them to look nicer, so I bought new frames with glass.
