<p>[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 7692368, member: 95174"][USER=118540]@sand[/USER] , you are correct , this is only my first attempt with the medallion, I will fix it next weekend. The coin is inside a shadow box that has a built in light. I tried to buy one from my framer after I saw a display model in his shop. The product was discontinued so he gave me the display model ( I do a lot of framing there.) I had originally used it for a Type A Anonymous follis but that was to small, this coin just fits at 104mm. </p><p>My biggest problem was getting the coin to display properly, I had originally used a cylinder and fish tank epoxy for the follis. This was way to heavy for this medallion, so we used four cylinders to displace the weight, and small nails for it to rest upon. One is misplaced. I still like the look. </p><p>It will end up on my desk, nice conversation piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
