Coin holder/rack for "large" coins??

MAJ Private RallyPoint Member — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 12:03:17 -0400

In addition to my normal coins, I have some "larger" coins that I picked up in Kuwait and Afghanistan. Anyone found a rack to hold those? I've google'd a bit, but haven't seen much.

I would try Medalsofamerica.com they make alot of cool cases for keepsakes for the military. Also check out craft fairs in your area. There are alot of guys who have woodworking tools in their garages close to installations that can carve up some pretty cool stuff. Hope this helps.

I built my own, most I seen weren't big enough to hold my 100+ coins.

I had a cool job where I did comm for all GO/SES/DV which led to a bunch of coins.

My friend MSG (R) Andy makes them, and can do pretty much anything with wood:

This man does a great job accommodating your needs and making custom coin holders. I uploaded some of his work.

You could try putting them under glass on a table top

I found this on Ebay two years ago when I came back from Afghanistan. I got a lot of larger coins and wanted something to display all of them.

I built my own out of Red Wood (Almost like SSG Hasbun's). I have a mirror in the back so it reflects the opposite side of the coins. Would post a pic but I didn't bring it to Germany (out of fear it would get broken). Now I have all my coins in a treasure chest, and I treat them like bullion.
