<p>[QUOTE="Buckeyed Toad, post: 279544, member: 10212"]You Can obtain Cherry Wood cases that can display just about any coin in its original plastic capsule. I have obtained a few of which I can display 20 SAE Proofs. in the container with velvet lining. Also have one for my Large cent collection, and two for my Indian Cent collection. tHE BOX SIZES ARE THE SAME BUT THE INSETS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE COLLECTION OF DIFFERENT SIZE HOLES. Problem is that these cases as all cases are subject to be environmently unfriendly, due to the acidity of the wood I am told.One must also consider the storage of all coins, they absolutely must be kept under 35 Deg Humidity, otherwise toning will eventually result. The more humid an area, the fater they will tone. Thus I don't get to see my collections very often. PS. Silica gel is the only known substance sold in different sizes that will contrrol the humidity in a closed container. I purchased several bags of 450 grams in bags which claims that it protects 33 cubic feet of space. Of course it doesn't, especially if your averaye humidity if between 60 and 70%. I recently bought some 2006 and 2007 gold that was already beginning to tone, what a waste to buy these if you can't keep them as shiny as they were when they were first made by the mint.:loud:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
