Message:: [QUOTE="mlov43, post: 26171283, member: 16729"]I saw a lot of four S. Korean 1968 One-Won coins for bid at eBay a few years ago.  I won the lot and sent all four to NGC for grading.  Three came back in MS-65 and the one shown below in MS-66.  Currently there are 31 in the NGC census at this grade and only 3 higher at 67. Since the listing at eBay noted that the coins came from a mint bag, I contacted the seller to ask if he still had the bag.  He did, surprisingly, and I snagged it for an extra $30.  After few years later, I got the idea to place these two in a frame or a shadow box of some kind.  I got the idea after seeing someone else who had done this with a mint bag and a CC Morgan Dollar: [ATTACH]1670565[/ATTACH] Here is my shadow box.  It's a pricey German "Lindner"-brand product that uses plastic film sections that trap whatever you're trying to display between the two halves of the frame.  This is the largest one I could find, at a 9" X 7" interior.  Anything requiring a larger space would have ended up in a regular framed display, like the one above.  I like this Lindner floating frame display because you can see both the obverse and reverse of the coin.
