I see it could be also laid flat to suspend the coin 3/8&quot; in the air. I think this case would be a great way to show coins to a class or group because it is natural to hold the case, both sides are perfectly clear, the coin is protected from handling, and even if it were dropped I think the coin would not hit the floor. Also, very tiny coins would be easy to handle. I only have had the one case for an hour, so I cannot claim to be an expect on how to use it!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is called a &quot;suspended display stand&quot; or &quot;suspended floating display case&quot; if you want to buy it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We have had threads on storage and displays before:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-do-you-present-your-collection.328777/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-do-you-present-your-collection.328777/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-do-you-present-your-collection.328777/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The case is obviously not a way to store a collection, rather put a coin or two on display.
