[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2536836, member: 19165"]Very cool display you made, and congrats on second place! I'm not sure what the rules were for the show you entered, but paper money is definitely part of numismatics and worthy of consideration. In a major show (like the exhibits at FUN) the paper money will be a separate category, but again, not sure what the setup was at your show. As for your display, a few comments/questions. I realize that your results have already come in, but this seems like a collection that is worthy of showing off many more times in the future: 1. Were/are you limited to a certain number of cases? It seems like you have a lot of material. Spread it out, and let everyone see everything clearly without crowding. 2. I really like that you are bringing in photos and other material besides just the Peace dollars. This extra type of stuff really elevates it to an "exhibit" and not just a really nice collection. 3. I agree with the comments that you should have some sort of details, descriptions, or information. I believe I suggested you add this sort of information to your registry set previously (which you didn't seem to like that suggestion).

Do you have plans to acquire any of the other works of Francisci? He did quite a few medals and plaques which may integrate well into your exhibit. Overall, really cool set and congrats on second place. Hope to see where this exhibit goes in the future![/QUOTE]
