[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2227343, member: 60292"]I had a wall frame sitting around unused so I thought it might be a good idea to use it once I completed a dime folder I was working on. After many months I finally completed the folder today (hooray)! In order to fit the folder in the frame I had to cut the 2 spines that connect the boards which made it tri-fold. I also had to trim the ends a little. All the cutting and trimming no longer made it a folder but I didn't care (folder was only $4 anyway). Now that I got the 3 boards which hold the dimes separated and trimmed, I placed them into the frame. It was a nice snug fit. It worked out perfect and I thought it came out pretty nice. I now have it hanging in one of my rooms! Just after framing, still resting on chair... [ATTACH=full]437332[/ATTACH] Hanging on the wall... [ATTACH=full]437334[/ATTACH] I turned off the lamp and ceiling lights cause they were causing too much reflection when taking photos. So I got these next photos with camera flash only. Noticeably darker but less glare... [ATTACH=full]437336[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437337[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437338[/ATTACH] You can tell the 1992-D (towards top right) is toned. I have to keep an eye out for a shiny one to replace it. The dates of the folder are 1965-1999 (P&D), but there were undated slots at the end so I filled it to the last slot which ended up being 2003-P. That's all Folks![/QUOTE]
