[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 2411784, member: 42634"]Hi all, I'm doing a little coin display in our school library in our library soon, they feature "stuff of the faculty and staff" every now and then. Anyway, I'll have a display case like this... [IMG]http://libpublic2.eol.isu.edu/blogs/ln/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/display-pictures-2-017x350.jpg[/IMG] Inside will be four glass shelves up relatively high I can put some coins on along with info about them. They'll be locked in the cabinet in the library, but Ill not put anything very valuable in them anyway. Those of you that know my coins, know that really isn't an issue to begin with. I was thinking one shelf each of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and "others". Each with a few coins, some info, and maybe a map. What do you think? I'll have room at the bottom to put stuff as well, like in the display above. Here I don't really know what to put. Famous coins that I don't own and can never afford to own? Coins of the Bible? How ancient coins were made? I'll also have a little podium. Maybe some flyers about websites to get started and a few LRB in flips people can handle (if they take 'em, go for it)? Is there any reason this is a bad idea to begin with? I would appreciate any and all input.[/QUOTE]
