[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1280095, member: 26729"]I have one of these. Got it in the early 90s, and have some comments... 1) The thin metal frame is cheap and falls apart if you look at it wrong. Then it will cut you when you try to fix it. I replaced mine with a better quality frame for under 10 bux from Wally-World. 2) The cardboard backing for this, and any other commercial 8x10 picture frame will severely tone your coins on the reverse side. When I replaced my frame, I took the glass from the old one, and sandwiched the coins between a layer of frame glass both front and back. That way the backs of the coins would be on the glass, and not the damaging cardboard backing. It is a little tight fitting, but not bad, and actually nicer not having the coins rattling around a bit loose in the frame. 3) The frame is not only cheap and fragile, but if you buy your own for a few bux, you will have a nicer frame, and more 'you'... as in not everyone at Cointalk with this set will have the same frame.[/QUOTE]
