Wall mounted display….Pictures

I’ve never attempted to display any of my coins in a wall display. Only in a glass display case on an inclined base. I’ve made plenty of wall posters.

I have a collection of French military medals in a display case on an inclined surface. The case is for displaying wrist watches. The medals are behind glass.

Every arrowhead in that display I found as-is. I have more in other boxes and hundreds of broken pieces.

 

Very nice. Just won some Romanian medals on a British auction. Coincidence

 

@DonnaML Nice displays, not too crowded.

 

@DonnaML I would really like to take a tour of all of your displays. What ever the price of admission, it would well be worth every penny. I'll have to kindly disagree with you referring to the items pictured as tchotchkes. Your collection is educational and shows thought and planning. Tchotchkes to my understanding, are cheap worthless dust catching trinkets bought at a yard sale.

 

We bought a china cabinet about 15 years ago. It is made of real cherry and the glass is tinted. Over the years she put some blown glass that my parents had gotten in East Germany in 1966 (that's another story). My sisters had them originally, but they passed away a few years ago, and they were given to me. Anyway, they were put in the china cabinet. It wasn't full, so I started putting some of my model airplanes in it. Now, when we have visitors, the like to look at my planes more than the figurines. I am now looking for another cabinet for my airplanes.
Another thought, I like the displays that have been displayed. I'm hoping that nothing valuable is putting into those displays "cabinets." It would be a shame to lose something valuable by visiting children. My china cabinet is locked (but easily broken into.)

Hello, this is my first try at posting some pics. This is my display of Shipwreck Coins from the Spanish Colonial era. I believe I ordered this glass/metal display from Etsy and had to assemble it. My whole office space wall is painted in Bermuda Bay color and features shipwreck coins and other artifacts. It was very difficult taking pics with so much glass and shiny metal. I hope you all enjoy them. I have more pics if anyone wants me to post them.

 

Mine's a simple wall display of Australian Pre-decimal silver coin set that I made for 2019 Christmas!


The problem with displaying ancient coins is that most of them are too tiny, even tetradrachms are only around 30mm! and the bigger coins are mostly bronze which due to patina looks really dark and in a display you couldn't see the details as good as on a silver/gold coin of that size.

 

Welcome to the board & that is one hell of a nice mini-museum you have. Very well put together.

 

Nice Donna..

 

I believe it is Quartz in a geode

 

I have one medallion framed i. A shadow box. I like it, before this i had an anonymous follis, it was to small.

 

I've since moved and no longer have either of these displays set up, but FWIW...
