<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 732001, member: 16948"]Thanks Mr. Guy, and yes, they are oak cases with glass tops, the type that doesn't fall to pieces if it gets broken. I had them specially made and the guy does a great job. The bottoms are inlaid as are the glass tops, and the edges are all dovetailed. And he glued red velvet onto the bottoms and even made a little oak stick with rubber tips to hold up the case tops. I love having them, as they do stand out, but boy are they heavy to lug around.</p><p><br /></p><p>The public hasn't come in yet (Saturday) but the weather is absolutely gorgeous here today, sunny and warm. Yesterday was rainy and cold. We have high hopes of a good turn out today. It's really a very interesting and neat place to hold a show. I wasn't sure all the separate rooms would work well, but it seems to be doing just fine. And they are giving all kinds of tours and video presentations about the history of the building. It's a one-of-a kind experience, and I recommend it to anyone who's in the area - seeing how our coinage was made from a century and a half ago is fascinating, really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
