Running Out of Display Space

@Limes ......Really nice....Why am I struggling to find these vertical display cases, I must be doing something wrong?....Could someone give me a link as I would really like to pick up some of these...Thanks.

The brand of my cases is Lindner. The cases are availble with different insides, in seize and colour. I buy the cases and stands from a Dutch webshop/store. Perhaps there is an importeur in your country as well, try searching on Lindner.

 

@Limes and @Spaniard, what I use are standard, inexpensive acrylic easels made to prop up books, to display photographs and other artwork, etc. Because the acrylic is somewhat flexible, it's possible to adjust (to a limited extent) the angle at which the easel stands, to make sure that the coins stay in their trays. And no, @Limes, I've never had a problem with coins sliding or falling out of my coin trays with square boxes -- especially since I can adjust the angle of the easel. (I happen to think square boxes look better in any event than round holes unless a coin exactly, or almost exactly, fits the the latter.)

@Spaniard, I'm sorry if I misled you by referring to "vertical coin trays." As indicated, I use ordinary coin trays (made either by Lindner or by Lighthouse/Leuchtturm) with acrylic easels I buy -- not coin trays made with their own built-in stands, intended from the outset to be stood vertically. I vaguely recall that Lindner manufactures (or once did) coin trays that come with their own built-in stands, but it's become very difficult in recent years (for whatever reason) to purchase any Lindner trays at all in the USA (the shipping costs from Europe are ridiculously and prohibitively expensive, far exceeding the cost of the trays themselves), so it's been a long time since I've looked at Lindner trays of any kind. Instead, when I've needed to buy new trays (which I rarely do since I have so many empty trays now; see above), I've bought only Lighthouse/Leuchtturm, which are pretty much the same as Lindner.

Here's a photo of an acrylic easel of the sort I use, without a tray in it:



(Note that I use small coin stands to prop up the tray a little bit when it's in the easel; otherwise, the bottom row of coins in the tray will be obscured by the lip of the easel, given that the depth of the trays is smaller than the width of the space at the bottom of the easel between the back and the lip.)

And here's a screenshot from Amazon of the entry for the particular kind of easel I use, although I'm sure there are many equivalents:



I hope that helps!

 

...Thanks, yes there is and the delivery isn't expensive...

...That's great !...Thank you so much for the explanation it has really helped....Neat idea to use the perspex bookstand as the easel....Must say I really like how this looks so thanks again for sharing...BTW You've got some Sssweet coins there!

 

Thanks! I was looking for something like this.
