<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2412054, member: 44316&quot;]I strongly second the idea of enlargements. I have visited many coin displays and coins are too small to grab much attention without a hook. Usually one can see only one side of a coin. A picture of both sides, at least 2 or 3 inches in diameter, can draw attention and then a thread from the photo to the coin can get the viewer to actually look at the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d point out the legend and in big type give it and translate it. </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of lines of history (but not a lot) would place them in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Give, in big type, a URL for some site of links to more information. Students could use their cell phone to see that lots of information is out there to be had. </p><p><br /></p><p>When you look at your coins, how close do you get?&nbsp; Close!&nbsp; Put the coins at eye level very close to the front of the case. (I could even see hanging a cheap magnifying glass for viewers to use.) </p><p><br /></p><p>How about including some images of the recent Seville hoard?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-hoard-found-in-spain.278060/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-hoard-found-in-spain.278060/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-hoard-found-in-spain.278060/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>People in the US tend to think old coins must be rare. This could show them why they are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
