CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 10:48 am Recently obtained a decent Maundy set and would like to get some suggestions on how to display them. Ideally, I would like it to: contain all four coins, display both sides, be portable Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Capital didn't have one, but I did find this made specifically for the sets. https://www.coincraft.com/10-maundy-set-cases Though it appears that they come in packs of ten. Does anyone know if these are singles? Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 1:23 pm If you search on ebay.co.uk you may well find empty boxes for these, depending on the date... In the past they came in smart leather or leatherette boxes. Report this Post to the Staff

In the past they came in smart leather or leatherette boxes." I like this idea and did not realize they came in cases, originally. They are from 1800 so, unfortunately, this may be unlikely. Thanks for the suggestion. Edited by CentSation 09/19/2020 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 9:59 pm If they are from 1800, it could be hard as standard machine made size coins did not come in until 1816 and 1800 dated coins whilst largely round can be a bit wonky to fit in a box - they will either get stuck or bounce around a bit when open or closed. Sadly that leaves a plastic strip or if you are really adventurous, get a mould made around the coins and see if that can be used into a fabric lining for a box (This would no doubt leave residue on them). Otherwise it just may be a set of holders - possibly mylar or 2 x 2s for each coin. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 10:48 pm The best way to display a Maundy set is to put the coins into a velvet lined box specially designed for the set. Even better, if the display box has inserts for capsules of four individual sizes. Capsules help prevent unsightly uneven toning. I have bought ex Royal Mint velvet lined leatherette cases and capsules, which were previously sold as new for other coins. This is a good approach for high MS crown sized coins, such as Double Eagles. 4x slabs may be a preference for other collectors. These can be stored in slab album pages. I just use Mylar flips, inside of which I enclose the coins in a piece of folded acrylic sheet recovered from food or toy packaging. Report this Post to the Staff
