Okay, I am ready for the abuse. Let me have it !!!

I dreamed up an idea to store my halves and Ikes in Poker Chip Cases. I ordered some and they came in today. $13 each for the cases. Case # 1 holds 128 Clad Ike Dollars and 1248 40 % Silver Kennedy Halves.
Case #2 holds 212 Clad Ike Dollars and 1040 40% Silver Kennedy Halves. It also is storing a full roll of UC 1971s and a roll of 87 Proofs. I have also found 9 pounds of 90% Halves. My search partner has appropriated all of the Walkers and Bennies that we found.
Trust me, I am not bragging. I wanted to show you how crazy this hobby can get. Good luck to all, Jim

Very nice, I keep some of my best coins displayed in a poker table. Its one where it looks like a regular table until you take the top off.

No abuse here, not for thinking out of the box, no pun attended!

I think its a pretty cool idea, might try it myself sometime, once i get that many coins!

You are not going to believe this, but last night I was playing poker at my local casino/cardroom and hit a Royal Flush in diamonds and was awarded a cheesy composite poker set. My wheels started racing, as I already had a poker set, and just finished putting my 40%ers into it about one hour before I read your message.

Hehe, what a coincidence.

(I ended up adding a little padding to the top as the halves are smaller and therefore looser in the case than chips.)

If I might say so, you deserve praise for a brilliant idea!!!

Wow....great idea Jim. That is so neat!! Where did you get that idea?? You have too much time on your hands....ha!

If they are fire proof it would be great. My last large coin collection went through a fire and did not make out very well. Sold the silver off but still have $150-$200 face value of wheat pennies melted into a solid mass to remind me not to keep everything together.

Almost everything was pulled from circulation mid 70's (CRH)
