i am starting a vending shop that sells coin frame sets with like type sets built to customer desire, do you have any suggested pictures or items youd like to find if you where getting something like this done. the base price is 200 u.s.d it would contain all proper coins vintage for your year or birth or approximate , i.e. if you wanted a family tree done it would contain coins from that year of birth for each person.. and the closer the git to the buyers coin they would be larger pieces like Ike's ,eagles, Morgans.. any suggestions??? as far as pictures ?material?
$200 as a base price seems high. Can you post a picture of what you have in mind to justify that? You might want to look at Capitol Plastic's http://www.capitalplastics.com/ pricing for birth year sets, etc. Personally, I would be interested in an complete type set album that includes the 18th century and early 19th century type coins not in the Dansco type set album.
Here one type frame that was just used for gem stones.so you had a Full view of gem http://www.coinworld.com/buy-coins/categories/display-frames/ but now there made for Coin to.
im not building type set albums im building custom made family albums and family trees that is what the framing is for. but we have yet to locate a dealer that can make the framing slots to order.. and capital plastics kinda charges alot
I used an $8 shadowbox frame to make a gift for my father out of a Vietnam dollar. This could be done with all sorts of commems... Army, Marines, POW, Women in Service, and even non-military like Boy Scouts, Police, etc... You could mount several coins if you left out the packaging and mounted each individual coin in it's own airtite. That way you wouldn't need a cardboard (and possibly damaging to the coin) insert.
I have one of these. Got it in the early 90s, and have some comments... 1) The thin metal frame is cheap and falls apart if you look at it wrong. Then it will cut you when you try to fix it. I replaced mine with a better quality frame for under 10 bux from Wally-World. 2) The cardboard backing for this, and any other commercial 8x10 picture frame will severely tone your coins on the reverse side. When I replaced my frame, I took the glass from the old one, and sandwiched the coins between a layer of frame glass both front and back. That way the backs of the coins would be on the glass, and not the damaging cardboard backing. It is a little tight fitting, but not bad, and actually nicer not having the coins rattling around a bit loose in the frame. 3) The frame is not only cheap and fragile, but if you buy your own for a few bux, you will have a nicer frame, and more 'you'... as in not everyone at Cointalk with this set will have the same frame.
Thanks for the link - I never knew who made these until now. I'm likely to get one for a simple birth year coin set next year for my MIL's 60th.
Yeah i wanted a small holder for 3 coins for a 1932 birth year set. I got a quote from capitalplastics and it came back at 115 dollars.. what a ripoff.

Really? Looks like a simple one is $6.75 - http://store.capitalplastics.com/servlet/Detail?no=108 Nevermind - they be wholesalers and minimum purchase is $50. I'll guess I'll have to see what the local coin dealer has in stock. Well, I was going to go there for the coins anyways.
do you have any pictures you would like to add to it??? what type coins are you looking for i can do a 3 cent set or cent dime nickel? do you want a small frame or large frame ? i shall give you an estimated price of 45 -50 usd as a base price it all depends on what you wish to add to it...
Didn't mean to hijack the thread here but i wanted to put one quarter and the two cents .. so it would be three coins total. They didn't make a lot of coins that year so i wanted to do a cent from both mints and the quarter. I was just going to have the coins and have it say something like 1932 coin set or Birth year coin set .. something like that.
Actually, that's not a "ripoff". Capital Plastics, like most manufacturers, is geared for production runs. When they make a single custom piece, the cost becomes quite high, as all of the startup costs are absorbed into the price. There's no amortization as there would be for production. I'm surprised they came in that low.
are you sure you do not wish to ad any pictures or such to it.. it will take a few days before i piece the set together ,
