[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24859140, member: 112"]Yes, mahogany is best but even that is still bad. As are all the finishes that can be applied to it, and any and all lining materials which are often worse than any of the woods. Coin cabinets were in use for centuries by many, many collectors. And over those centuries they learned that there are few if any exceptions to the rule that coin cabinets are among the worst ways for any collector to go. And anything and everything that could be tried, was tried - and failed. Oh sure they look nice, are cool in a way, and some still use them for those reasons. But facts are facts, and the lessons learned from the past are legion ! And those who choose to ignore the mistakes made in past are doomed to repeat them. For your own benefit, I strongly advise you to not do this.[/QUOTE]
