So I have been debating with myself the merits of "picture framing" certain sets of coins. Should be cheap enough to do, and I figure attaching some kind of cloth backing to the back frame would improve things too. Is this bad for coins though? I guess I want to keep them out of daylight, but, I'm not aware of anyh other problems. Is the room light an issue? Also...any tips? Decent ideas?:) Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 06/08/2019 6:41 pm While a picture frame may look cool, it will be bad for pristine coins. If you wanted to do it I would suggest well worn coins like low VF or high F and those should be fine Report this Post to the Staff

If you want the coins exposed, you could just use one half of a capsule. That would give protection to the back and edge. Report this Post to the Staff
