<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3356579, member: 19463"]It would be rather simple to design a custom size/shape coin tray using a 3D printer. Slabbers could even print out a custom shape ring to mount coins and get rid of those ugly tabs that cover the coin. For a display, you could design a copy statue of an emperor with a coin holder sized to a specific coin. You could scan in and enlarge a coin using 3D software and make a placque that could be painted to look like the coin. PLA is not poisonous as far as we know now but I wondered about it toning or cleaning a coin as it deteriorates over time. The field is getting to the point that you can find software for many things but no ancient coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
