Some coin shops purchase collection that will have different
types display boxes that they just take the coins out and stack or throw away the box.

I was at a coin shop in the big city last week and was handed
this box.

Ideas-For-Used-Coin-Display-Boxes

The box has eleven 38mm air-tite holders. Of course at first
I was thinking, what eleven Morgan dollars would go good into
this box. But I have multiple Dansco albums with Morgan's.

Looking through my 2x2's I saw I had a lot of world silver coins.
It was hard coming up with 11 coins that would fit into 38mm air-tites.

This is what I came up with so far.
Ideas-For-Used-Coin-Display-Boxes


I do have different coins I would have liked to use, but were
not the right size.

This is what I have so far. If better coins come along I
can always swap them out.

I am thinking this is a little better than sitting in 2x2's

Any opinions?

I help .. work for them .. when they need. So they gave it to me.

I have seen them sell similar boxes for $5 to $10

After showing them what I did with it ... I could see the look ..

We should have done that ....

That looks great!

The coin shop can still copy your idea.

And I don't think they'll be the only ones copying your idea.
