Maybe a custom cabinet would be best? :) Paging @Stork @old49er
That very modern-looking cello on the reverse looks rather out of place. Still a great medal. :)
Is that Arabic? What does it say?
If I had to guess, I would say it's probably dark cherry wood. Mahogany, rosewood, and cherry are probably the only woods I would consider making...
Shouldn't be too tough to make some spacers, I would think?
Looks like that's the best answer, then. Now to figure out what size case + inserts would work for those big medals. I don't suppose anybody...
Most of the time, I can't bring myself to sell coins I haven't specifically bought for resale, either. I don't mind so much: it just means I...
I have not, but if I were going to go for Intercept boxes, I'd probably go for the double layered box they have further down the page.
I have a feeling I'm "supposed" to prefer the second coin, because the first coin really grabs me in terms of style and strike. The second coin...

Are you sure it's solid wood and not wood veneer?
Great coin! I'd leave it in the holder just so I didn't lose it, lol. I've got no real problem with slabbed ancients, as long as I'm not paying...
Nice. If it was me, I would build a nice, hardwood desk... For my coin grading and future photo setup. :)
Oh, I also remember there are archival, pre-made cabinets out there, if you just want the look and feel, and you don't mind wood veneer rather...
I'll have to check it out, but I kind of doubt it will hold a medal of the size and thickness I'm looking at.
What kind of slabs are those? I think that's only a 41mm piece, right? A 75mm medal would laugh at that. :P
Unfortunately, I can't offer the perspective you're after, having not used one. But I would also suggest not using glues if you can avoid it.
I don't know about stamps, but cards are still alive. It's just that only the classic cards and a few rookie cards of guys who went on to be Hall...
How do you guys store medals that are either very big (>40-50mm), or oddly shaped and don't fit well into capsules? I've had a few art deco...
Looks like damage to me. They're rather deep to be adjustment marks, and, typically, adjustment marks will only go in one direction. They're...
