Wow, quite the religious medallion collection you have Hunter1805.

This is just a small sample of some coins I've found throughout the years. It's a pretty simple display but I like the functionality of it because I can move coins around when needed.

Good Idea! I like that!

I don't display mine. The clad is cashed in at year's end and the silver coins and jewelry, early coppers, and gold items are in a safe place. I've been burglarized once and if my finds had been on display they'd be gone.

I put approx. (400) of my oldest and best coins in a "Hobby Master" - Binder Album - has (20) labeled coin flips on each page).

Put more common coins like - Mercs - Indians - Buffalo's - Wheat's - State Quarters and other Clad coins in approx. (22) Harris coin folders.

I just tumble and "Coinstar" all of the other newer clad coins that I already have one example of in the Harris folders.

What coins? I have actually sold most of mine through time. Some I gave away. A couple years ago I had three quarts of clad in duh, quart jars under the sink and decided I didn't need them. They went to the coin machine. Even the two small 20th century silver caches I found I sold, at almost $18 per ounce plus more for better coins. I have kept a few "special" ones, but not much. The best ones are in a safe deposit box.

I put mine in 2x2 white coin holders and label them with the year, denomination, where I found it, and the detector I used. Then they are put into the plastic sleeves, according to year and type, and into a big binder they go. Each denomination has it's own binder. All tokens and foreign coins go into a separate binder, and are labeled the same way.

YOWZA!!! That is one beautiful display. I’d be very careful about who I showed that to.

I've thought about this too. I just don't like the fact of hiding them away and only see them just a couple/few times a year. I did that for quite some time but I would rather have them out on display so I can enjoy seeing the fruits of my labor. I know the chance of having them stolen is there but I do not have them visible for somebody to see them through a window. Plus my neighbors would more than likely notice a strange person near my place.

this is an old pic when i first bought the table around 2005 - I had just started to fill it
I had books of coins - and boxes all over the place (had just moved)
but you get the idea - the center is full of silver coins now 3-4 layers - Barbers on up

That is super cool Casper. Very nice!

Well if you really look there is alot of cool stuff that I had just hanging out in draws. I just wanted to display things.. Really not worth much only to me but just cool stuff that has been dug. The clay pipe and the key set were not dug. As for the religious medals. I found 2300 of them in two holes. 708 the first day. I made two displays and gave them to a local church and contacted a priest who buried all the damaged ones with the sisters who took care of the missionary priests. There were 105 sterling and 1 gold. Since these were from an abandon seminary closed in 1957 and weeds took over and the site was a mess for 40 years then a bulldozer shows up and so did I. When I told my buddies they found well over 300-400 on their own. These are from all over the world. In addition I found over 7 cashes with a lot of personnel items buried in them. Also found sterling candle sticks, reales, war of 1812 buttons and many silver coins mostly barbers including half dollars. The first view of the first day find is available in the 1998 Best of Eastern Western Treasure, should you guys wish to look at it. Jim

. As for Rusty you did a great job with your display. I like it looks great. I have may little space and that is all I get. As for not showing items and worry about thieves, I have two dogs named Smith and Wesson who are junk yard German Shepards and should they fail to do their job then I have another way, with the Real Smith and Wesson.... and they are a show stopper.

Up until recently I had a small jewelry case and I put the coins in those little circular capsules. For Christmas I received a display case with three levels so that changed my whole game. I only put the best or the stuff I am most proud of in there. The other stuff still hangs out in the little jewelry case in a drawer. For instance: do I need to display every merc, rosie and Washington or every copper some of which are unidentifiable? Some coins are better than others. I have a couple pieces of marble floor tile that are rectangles and I have laid all my seated coins on one and the other has a KGI,II and III on it... collect em all! I'd like to get some of those coin easels for my very favorite coins. I'm only 4 years into this thing so I'd like to eventually have a case for just coins. Right now my case has a little bit of everything: Bottles, buttons, coins, relics. I feel like I wasn't really living life before I had a display case! haha! But seriously it's cool to have it there sometimes I just take a quick glance at it all and think man this is cool! I think the white cardboard coin holders are great as you can write info on them but it would be tough to not touch my coins. I like to handle them. Doesn't change the value as they mainly hold historical and sentimental value to me.

I have these for my special finds

Mine are all locked in a safe. The last time I had them out looking at them my wife flipped out on me on the amount. So I had to put them up....
