As some of you know I have been collecting medals, I really like the 50MM French Marianne medals. Well, they are a PITA to display, so I ordered some 8 inch X 10 inch plexiglass in white and clear and came up with this.

    That's great!

    What'd you use to cut the holes? I might consider doing something like that image

    This is what you use to cut the holes. You do half way through the front and then flip it over and use the pilot hole and finish the back.

    Dang, and I thought it was a Custom Capital Plastic Board that would have cost you more than the medals...Nice Job!

    Total for plastic was about $8, but I ordered enough to do 25 sets. I use them for my oversized medals also. I ordered the centers in 5mm, 7mm and 10mm. The 10mm works great for the 1876 award medals.

    Looks like lady liberty from the Morgan dollar's sister on a few of those medals?

    Nice! The lower center medal resembles the Barber/Morgan 1906 gold double eagle pattern obverse.
