My local coin shop is always throwing out coin holders and small display boxes and I always find something cool. This weekend, I scored 5 extremely nice wood display boxes. Basically, I used Acetone to remove the decals from the glass and cleaned them up. Here are my two favorites. 1. Kennedy Half dollar box Before:  After:   2. American Eagle Silver Dollar Collection I had to rip the PCGS Trays out of this one and replaced them with mine. Not a perfect fit, mine are a bit smaller, but it's still really nice. The silver plaque on the top will be replaced with a SPQR one, once I find it. There are 5 tray drawers.    To top it off, they both came with the keys. |

Very nice and I see that your coin cabinet still has some open slots that will need to be filled.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Really nice looking and a great job in making them look as good as new again! Worthy display in any office or living room.

Very smart! A lovely way to display your coins.... Never seem to find anything like this out here which is a shame as I too really like to use trays to display my coins...But mine sit in horrible Aluminium cases, the best I could find at a reasonable price.. And as you can see not very aesthetically pleasing unlike those super cabinets of yours...Congrats nice finds...Paul  |

Thanks for the comments. Palouche, I have the same exact case. Not a great display piece, but it's great for the portability and an easy way to transport your coins.
