I Framed My Completed Dime Folder

That's a good question. Behind the folder boards I kept the inner frame thingy (has 3 cutouts intended for photos) and the glossy white page which all came with the frame. I left them in there to press everything tight. Otherwise the back would have been a little loose and the coin boards could fall back from the glass.

Boom - 75 years from now, a set of monster toners! Hopefully that's popular at the time.

 

The "thingy" is know as a "customer provided mat" and everything else that came with it should be fine. The back of the frame should be sealed with a paper. You glue the ends of the paper to the frame to keep dirt and dust out. When dealing with old pictures or hand tinted photos, as I do with my antiques business, you must use "acid free paper" so as not to harm the contents. Just thought you might like to know a paper bag no longer cuts its.

A few years ago I picked up a nice engraved print of Lincoln, signed and when I had it professionally restored, they used acid free paper. The restorer even recommended it for all items framed. Something about the bleach used in paper. At any rate, enjoy your coins. I do find it very interesting and a great way to display them.

 

Looks great..I have always preferred to have a display of coins visible without having to pull them out of the collection all the time. Understandably the most valuable kept stored securely away.
I think its cool.

 

If I framed a collection of dollars then I would have to label the front "Do NOT break glass in emergency"..[emoji2]

 

Looks good.

 

But what if you were low on beer (or root beer for me for a couple more years) funds?! I'd say that's an emergency that would justify liberating those dollars.

 

Awww...you just made me consider erasing "DO NOT "...but their my precious coins..I must not give in.
Takes minutes to make beer dissappear.
Took a long time for the collection to appear.[emoji12]
Plus,if it means breaking into your collection for beer,then maybe ya shouldn't be drinking eh.[emoji6]

 

Just wondering if another pane of glass was put on the back to see the reverse of the coins..would that work. ?
Apologies if that has already been mentioned.

 

Very nice collection and framing of your Dimes. Definitely belongs in your den.
congrads on finishing your project. Now you have me wondering how a "half" collection would look like.

 

Got the 1992-D I had in mind to replace the brown toned one.

 

Congrats on the '92! I love the frame, what size is it?

 

Nicely done.

 

I love seeing the creativity on these broads. Some really talented and smart folks on here. That is why I love it so much and love lurking/reading more than posting.

 

Nifty work.

 

Aw great, now i have the urge to buy eighty frames.
Looks nice though. Did you only do this to your dimes?

 

Looks real nice. Congrats on finding a replacement for that one 92-D.
