Today, I have seen many discussions about design of coins.

 

We have 8 coins we currently own, and have a shadow box for them,and attach velcrow to the sleave to put it in the box for display on the wall.

We also have a seperate shadow box with sig items and wooden coins and that sort of thing for display on the wall.

So I would like to open a discusion, about how much pride you take in this hobby?

How do you display your finds?

Please feel free to display any photos you may have of your collection. do you collect sig items?

If so do you value them as much as your coins?

fell free to elaborate further just an idea off the top of my head,,I will post a pic soon of our boxes!

here are a few of my favorites

 

what a neat creative way to display the tikis! shows them off like the mini works of art they are.

Thanks for the kind words! I thought they would look cool in a tribal dance arrangement from the perspective of looking through a window in a bamboo hut into the jungle. I have the tiki stackers framed also, but cant get it to load properly.

Glad you like it. :D

I like coins that mean something to me .

The N.Ireland coins as I live here .

Edinburgh coins as I used to work there and really liked the place

The garmin coins because I have visited some of the sites and they are great places.

The Avroair coin because I always have had an intrest in military planes especially WW2 bombers .There is also a story behind the coin which I thought made the coin a little more special.

The token was a free gift sent with the purchace of 3 coins that I had been looking for to give to my father as a gift and as such will never be given away as it reminds me of that persons thoughtfullness and help while I was sorting the deal out.

I was also greatly suprised when Tennesse Jed adopted 3 of his coins to me - as a newbie here I thought I would never have a look in when he started to split up his collection and could not beleive that I would get 1 never mind 3. Thanks again TJ. They are to start travelling shortly and I'll be very excited to see where they go / end up .

I only have a limited budget for coins so my collection won't explode overnight - it will grow slowly but will be full of coins that are special to me

I think i found the shadow box at a Micheal's { Big box hobby and craft store } Was a pin cushion type box Probably for dried flower arrangements or some thing. Wanted something that would sit on my desk so i could see some of my special coins. Tried using just the pins to hold the coins that didn't work. So i bought 1/8 of a inch ridged foam glued thin colored foam to it cut foam to coins, wha la

Thats awsome!!! Same with us,,we have a very small budget for coins almost none(except for missions),

our coins mean something to us too!! and will grow over time!

 

The Difinative Series coins are really nice coins that explain "What" geocaching is! I know no one else here that does this hobby,,so instead of answering the question all the time ,,its right there,,nice set of coins!!

Caching with kids,is all about the time i spend with my lil one caching,,she loves the walks,and the toys!! shes only 1 so its a gr8 thing to do with her,sometimes we get sidetracked with the playground.

The family suncacher , is pretty much the same thing but for my wife as well,,she can only come sometimes and I cherish every time she does!!

The santa coin is for remerbrance of our santa mission were doing, 1st mission

The multi event coin we won from ladiebee4t's cointest and has been the 1st and only keepable win thus far! thx lb4t!!!

The puzzle coin is the first coin to come out when we started to collect coins, and will alway cherish that starting point!

we have also been adopted 3 coins for Todies wild ride for travel and never got to see these before they went out,,but they are traveling now!!! thx Rod,geopigs,max b,for getting these out and ready !!!

It is actually glow in the dark foam and the frame is a stand up desk shadow box.. Put foam in it and then cut to the coin shape. P1010006-1-1.jpg

Is your desk an ironing board by chance???

 

OT, I really like your display case...was it hard to cut the foam for the shaped coins?No The wife will not let me use it as a desk it would be to messy. coins fairly easy to cut out trace with pen Use sharp knife. Dont cut anything important.

Very Nice ways to display your coins. We have a nice collection and anyone that has seen them will tell you. We take them to every event we attend. We are proud to show off our collection. We have them all in zip up binders with foam, so they dont fall out.

Have any photos to share?

 

Somthing I havent seen anyonetouch on is the homemade sig items, are they worth as much as your coins to you?

Opps. Forgot to add.

 

Does anyone have a display option that shows BOTH sides of the coin? Many of my coins don't really have a FRONT/BACK, but rather a COOL/COOL side! (some are also LEFT/RIGHT and RIGHT/WRONG)

mabie a floating picture frame-but how would you secure the coins in place so they would not move in the frame,, the reason I say floating is because usually they are made from a plastic instead of glass? this would be a good project for someone- to make a display that could show both coins,, mabie on a spindle or somethin :D

I also have a bigger display case

Very nice coins!!! is that a crake suncacher next to your tiki?<< looks good in there!! I also like you set of coins on the top row,and the compass rose next to your redwings coin<<wait!!! a red wing coin???,very nice display.

 

I think Its great you all show your coins with such nice cases!! The ideas in here are super!!! Im just wowed at all the coins that are cared for and not just throwen in a drawer and actually get some light of the day and a smile every now and then!!
