<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1027548, member: 15199"]I doubt you will find on off the counter. Find the belt buckle you want, measure the outside diameter of your coin holder. The either take it to a jeweler, or do your self. you will need a short section of brass, silver, or gold ( if you want to go big time) tubing that is slightly larger than the coin case. Drill a hole in the buckle so the tubing fits through it. Using jeweler's tools, round the "visible edge" slightly so it holds the coin case securely. Peen the inside or solder ( belly side) of the tubing to the buckle securely without the plastic case inside of course.. The coinholder should be able to pass from the inside of the buckle to the visible side. Once there, clear epoxy should hold it almost forever. It is an very enlarged version of a "tube bezel" such as to mount gemstones inside a bracelet, with just the crown showing. </p><p><br /></p><p>But it is going to be much more work and expense than using business strikes and buying a roll or them and epoxying a new one on the buckle when it gets trashy. But any bench jeweler could make one for a price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
