Hi there,

I'm looking for something that looks like this:

Does-This-Type-Of-Coin-Holder-Exist? Does-This-Type-Of-Coin-Holder-Exist?

And for reference, I tried to make it out of cardboard first myself so you had a chance to see what I was talking about :-)

It's a business-card sized piece of cardboard which has room for a 1.5" (38.1mm) coin. It could either be centeret, or like my example, moved over to the left, so it can bend and stand like a coin easel.

Is this already made? Or will I have to do the cutting myself? :o) I know this isn't really protecting the coin, but that's not the intention. It's for a business card that I'm designing, and the cardboard-part is the finishing touch :-)

Hope that someone here can help me.

Best Regards from Denmark!

// Yoc.

might work. Not the cheapest solution, but if you only have a couple coins you want displayed. this may work.

NVM. I reread and saw this is specifically for a business card.

How about using slabs? Something like Littleton does with the coin and a description to the side of it.
Yes it will be bulkier then a business card but people surely will remember it..

From what you showed you already have a great start to make a new buisness. Make a few more prototypes and start contacting coin making item companies like Whitman to see if intereseted. Just in case check out how to get a patent.
And if you do get rich on this, remember me.

Shouldn't be too hard to make them yourself, out of the materials of your own choice.
The arc cut in the cardboard example pictured here can be made with a woodworker's turning gouge. They come in a variety of radii.
For the best material to make it from, I suggest an inert plastic sheet.

Closest I can recall of ever seeing something like that were the holders for those gas station aluminum giveaway tokens or some of the bank savings cards from the 1950's and early 60's.

Uhhh... cardboard = humidty retention = ruining luster of coin. Take this into consideration. Cool idea!
