[QUOTE="downlow, post: 690694, member: 20475"]I've a collection of all the US coins depicting a buffalo or bison. All in Air-tites. I want to devise some sort of under-glass display for all the coins from the smallest coin (2008 proof 1/10 oz gold buffalo) up to the largest (2001 Buffalo proof silver commem) and eveything in between; Statehood quarters, buffalo nickels, westward 2005 nickel, Commem 1/2's, etc. [COLOR=red](If anyone knows of any ellusive US coins with a buffalo/bison that I may have forgotten please let me know.)[/COLOR] I only need to display 1 side of the coin obverse/reverse (all reverse as far as I know) which shows the bison. How can I get a professional appearance without sending EVERYTHING to an actual framer? [COLOR=red][U]Does anyone have any experience/expertise in this.[/U][/COLOR] My first thought is to router/drill out fitment holes/ports in a thin softwood of about 1/8 inch thickness to fit the diameters of the air-tites. Then apply velvet over the board and sink the coins into the "wells". Then take it all to the framer once I've done my fiddling around. HELP... thanks in advance :bow:[/QUOTE]
