Three of these wood box display cases came in local this past week. The coins that came in them were sold and the shop still had the boxes. So of course I picked one up.  When I got home I was looking through my slabbed coins wondering what I could put in the case. Then I saw these three.    So ... any opinions of how they will look .. crazy or cool? |

I need to really find a good lighting source for pictures. But here are some quick one outside .. in winter light.  My wife said she could print up a information sheet. So I gave here some information for a test. The first try in on regular printer paper. If it looks good .. will do card stock and maybe laminate.  I am open to suggestions on text changes. |

Thanks Dave
After reading it right now, thinking of adding "From" above the set name.
And check the 1997 set name, I gave her that information off the top
of my head. I think I better check all the information.
It seems like I have seen a better mintage number for the 1997 nickel.
I know there was 25,000 sold ... I am thinking there were some returns.

This case has really got my mind turning. There are a couple more cases At the coin shop. So now I am wondering how I might be able to use them. Top of my thoughts. I have been wanting to pickup a high and low leaf Wisconsin D quarter. Then put the high and low leaf with a regular 2004 WI D. Or maybe some other odd coins in my collection Henning nickel 1970 D Washington quarter on dime stock Have to think of a third for this group. |

Very nice display. Certainly highlights the coins you've chosen.

Thanks Moxking
For those members that don't know.
These three coins only came in special commemorative sets.
All three could be considered key/semi key coins.
They are the only three matte proof coins of the 1990's.
I think they are coins that all modern collectors should have in
their collection. A problem is, there are not specific holes in any
of the coin albums. Ends up being a problem on what to do with
odd coins. I think I will be happy with this solution.

That's nice, my preference would be same denomination. Maybe high grade birth year PDS,or 1st yr of issued denomination such as the Buffalo nickel, something like that. |

Also these are three matte proof coins that made it to Whitman's greatest 100 modern coins list. --------------------------------------- Quote:

I was not sure where you were headed with this, seeing those three coins had nothing to do with WWII, but then I got to the part about the custom information sheet and I was sold. Very nice! |

You could do a nice Lincoln Cent display 09, 09VDB, 09 S VDB. Or do a V nickel set no cents, w/cents, and racketeer with the history that would be a nice display. |
