Coin holder/rack for "large" coins??

10.5K

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 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.

SGT (Join to see) Yup - thought about that as well. Wasn't sure though if they actually made them or not.

Medals of America have a few cases that will fit coins up to 2 1/4.

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.

You could try putting them under glass on a table top

I had a table that had coins in fiber glass. It looked cool but was so heavy to move . It found its way to Salvation Army . I have a foot locker full of coins from Just about every place I went . They add up fast and you can't do any thing with them . Worth more as scrap metal than coins .

Would love to polyeurethane them to a bar top in my "permanent" house. At least under glass you can get a battle buddy and lift the top off if you want to look at them/move 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.
