Have you done anything different with your collection? Displayed them in a nicer way then just the 'beauty boxes'. I'd like to see some ideas instead of just leaving mine in a drawer or cabinet. Show us what you've done. 1st example... A friend of mine took up wood working with lasers and CNC. He gave me this for my 'Great Lakes Coins'.  |

Nice looking - are the plastic capsules inset at or below surface level?

Supplied 15,000 cull pennies for this Resin Bar top. Everyone just loves having a pint here.   |

The bar top is cool, and the Great Lakes display is very nice as well. =)

@Dcadon: Very nice! Impressive display! How big is it? Is the wood sealed to prevent outgassing? I don't have anything so creative for my collection of SDs. I just keep them in Lighthouse Coin Box Trays. Here's a low-quality image of one of the trays:  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

#Marve65 asked 'are the great lakes coins surface mount...."
No, they are inset with their plastic capsules complete. I just used a spot of 'blue tack - sticky stuff to hold them in place, to make them easily removeable.
#Commens - "how big is it" = It's mounted on former 'Church pew' Oak wood and measures about 14" in diameter. Being already 'aged over 100 years - I'm not too concerned about the wood changing any more, however there is a light varathane coating
