<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2739464, member: 19463&quot;]My most recent favorite coin prop started life as a plastic ball point pen with a soft grip.&nbsp; I threw away the refill, spring and top half.&nbsp; I pulled the soft &#039;rubber&#039; over the end of the pen and slid the modified assembly over a 1/4&quot; steel rod mounted upright in a wood base.&nbsp; I have no idea if this is modifiable for proofs since I only collect ancients which do not have such issues with being touched.&nbsp; I do have a variety of sizes of supports as shown on the right inset of my previous image.&nbsp; For the larger coins you could hot melt glue a craft foam disk to the top of a syringe plunger (came with baby Tylenol years ago and we save everything) but I usually just use the plunger itself for coins over nickel size.&nbsp; Not collecting coins you can&#039;t touch makes this a lot easier.&nbsp; Most of my coins are 5 to 30mm diameter so the three sizes shown work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
