Title: Displaying NCLT
Post by: proof27 on June 27, 2014, 08:51:33 AM
G'day,
I'm redoing my living area and would like to display my NCLTs on a floating shelf instead of having them stored in a box. Something like those perspex boxes but not sure if there damaging to coins.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers.

You could always get them slabbed and display them using little stands for the slabs :ok:

Did you ever think about some sort of a curio cabinet? I have one that is 60" (1.5 m) high, 20" (.5 m) wide, and 1' (.3 m) deep. It has 2 full glass sliding doors 10.5" (27 cm) wide and 4 glass shelves plus it has an interior light at the top. I keep a few foreign coins there (Ireland) and some unusual metal detecting finds in there.....crotal bells (U S & Israel), Boy Scout finds, and old padlocks. It's used, looks  new, and I paid $25 for it.

Hello,

Not wishing to HiJack this thread, but have a look at the Pen holder thread. Nice timber with Coins flush mounted in capsules. AJ does nice work, and if you were to use my Decking idea, you can have the grooves behind. It can be hung on a wall vertically. and with smaller Coins they can be staggered to make it look more interesting. I have another project, which is a nice timber case from a tankard, have lift out trays like a filing cabinet. Not a display as such, but the Coins can be safe in capsules, and you can lift out the Coins mounted in thin MDF to show people.

There is no way would I want to show my NCLT's in a public area, ie lounge room unless the room was totally secured at all times.

I have my in safes etc, as most of us do.   If people/visitors want to view the coins then I go get them.

The only one I have in my lounge room is the framed first coin minted and the Visitor Gallery several years ago that was presented to me by the CEO of the RAM.
