I ordered a 5-subject sheet this morning.

By "anyone" I should have said "anyone besides Steve".  I'm contemplating the 10-subject. Edited by CelticKnot

No, I'm not a sheet collector, but I DO plan on getting a $1 FRB District set |

Boy that's for sure. How do you guys display these sheets?

Every time I think about these sheets all I see is Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and his wife holding one up on the floor of the BEP and the memes that resulted!
Something about "redecorating" and "buying new toilet paper and bathroom mats"!

How do you guys display these sheets? I only have one sheet, a 10-subject. It's been in the tube it came in for over 12 years now. I had always planned to make a cherry frame for it and hang it on the wall, but got hung up on wanting to display both front and back somehow. I went so far as to buy the cherry but could not resolve how to put it under glass. Sandwich between layers of glass so it could be flipped or traditional frame job? So, in the tube it sits. |

Thanks for posting this, CelticKnot. I had no idea how reasonable the BEP is to do business with- free shipping, no tax, and only a 50% markup over face! I ordered the full sheet of $2's from 2013. There was a link to acrylic frames for displaying the different sheets (both sides) on CoinNews but couldn't find it again. |

Very impressive, Steve. Since it looks like the BEP has discontinued its sale of frames, my next thought is to head to the super-Walmart. I figure the size of my sheet will be 25x21, so I'll go looking for pre-framed prints at least that big. It's worked in the past. I get a frame, a new picture, and solve my problem for under $10. As soon as the temps climb back up to the 20s, my old car and I will give it a shot.

Michael's and Hobby Lobby also have lots of frame options.

Thanks, CelticKnot. We have a Hobby Lobby here that I've passed by many times. I need a good excuse to go in and check it out. For the frame, though, I already solved my problem at Walmart.com. |

 I picked up this 16x20 glass frame at Walmart for my 18 subject sheet mainly to keep the sheet flat. When I bought this sheet about 15 years ago it was still rolled up in a tube! Fortunately, there were no wrinkles or creasing and the sheet is now as pretty as the day it was printed. I rarely display the sheet due to potential fading of the red ink that can be caused by bright lights (especially sunlight). I try to be very careful with this sheet. I do display a 32-subject sheet of green seal deuces in a similiar frame. It has been displayed for several years and I have not noticed any fading of the green seal and serial numbers. Just be careful and aware of bright light shining on your currency treasures! |
