[QUOTE="ArtDeco, post: 8358662, member: 119259"]I've also wondered about this many times, I've often considered displaying the coins out on a tray with a 1.75 x 1.75 paper for the details on the coin between the coin and the felt of the tray but then the felt on the slot sides I feel can wear down the edges of the coin overtime. Then I experimented with DIY reopenable slabs like QuickSlabs which can be put in slab trays or big thick slab sheets that can be displayed in big binders, [ATTACH=full]1483482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483486[/ATTACH] I've since switched to 2x2 coin flips but this is an idea for you since you can remove the coin from the slab whenever you want.
