<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2080776, member: 42034&quot;]Actually I made another coin display for our wedding which may be much more amenable to showing off a collection of Philippine coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used 2 thick (not the standard thin as that looks too cheesy) pieces of plexiglass, maybe 18&quot; tall by 15&quot; wide and a thick piece of black plexiglass cut out so as to only include a 1&quot; border which would be on the inside.&nbsp; Thus you&#039;d have a large flat panel, made up of the 3 sheets of maybe 1/4&quot; or 3/8&quot; thick plexiglass for each sheet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Inside the panel I placed maybe 12 - 15 coins, each inside a completely clear &quot;Kointain&quot; which used double sided clear tape on the edges of the kointain to affix it inside the panel.&nbsp; Below each kointain was taped a short description of each coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think there were one or two rows (4 across) of Ancient coins, 1 or 2 rows of European coins, including an almost unc Polish Thaler (1634), some US coins, and some crowns from Latin America.</p><p><br /></p><p>The whole assembly was mounted on one of those plexiglass tilt bases at maybe a 60 degree angle.&nbsp; With this assembly both sides of the coins could be viewed.&nbsp; It used heavier brass bolts holding it together and had a clip which attached to a 1/4&quot; plastic coated steel cable which locked it to the table tho guests could pick up and examine the panel.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was made in 1998.&nbsp; I&#039;ve looked thru my photoarchive but cannot find a photo right now as I&#039;m in Brazil right now &amp; most of my photos (&amp; the panel) are in the US.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was a bit higher end than many generic displays.&nbsp; Also, today, I&#039;d get a trophy shop to simply make the panel for a few dollars, rather than doing it myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
