I've had some fun improvised displays over the years.  Your $1.50 one is actually quite a bit classier than some of my old ones, though I've always had the heart of a wannabe museum curator, even when I was a little kid.  I made my first museum when I was probably eight years old.  It was like an 18th century "cabinet of curiosities", with coins and stamps and shells and stones and toys and an interesting dead bug or two. PS- In the early 1990s, I had inherited a small glass-top curio cabinet which had once held my grandmother's seashell collection.  I used it for my English monarch coin collection, and the presentation of the coins looked much like some of the displays posted here, including yours.  [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER], whom I had just met at the time, will likely remember this. In another little bit of synchronicity, I will mention that there was one particular CD I listened to constantly in that era, so much so that when I hear those songs today, I think of that room and the cabinet of coins.  It was the very same Enya album whose cover art is visible in your photo. I knew that picture was familiar from somewhere! <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_8050-jpg.640638/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
