Hi guy's, Just posting something a little different. I placed these '55s's in a display case long time ago. I bought the case for $25 off a jewery store. Usually for displaying rings or diamonds in. I did it because just the reason for the last S mint Wheaties! I know the case actually cost me more than the roll of 1955s Lincolns. I just wanted to do something different. What do ya guy's think? Thanks guy's! :)

    Quarters would fit better.

    Hopefully the foam stuff will not damage the coins.

    So far so good, I did this about 10 years ago. :*

    Did you check the reverse of a few as it may not show up on the front for awhile.

    Hopefully this is a better foam than the kind many have seen deteriorate and damage coins in the past.

    Marbles? You care to share? I had some marbles in mine too, but I seemed to have lost them! LOL :)

    Reminds me of growing up. Back when I used to shoot them as a kid, with my old friends. Ricko, any pics?

    Here are some new pics. As you can see, all the reverses look similar to this. Also, Ricko, I straightened the two Lincolns. Thanks guy's!

    Thanks! No, I haven't. Never really thought of displaying other denominations? :*

    I like it, joeykoins. You think it's "different?". Maybe so maybe not. I think you might be surprised at what some of us other weirdo coin guys do to display our coins. I like it. Very nice.!

    But as.....abcfr44327 said, and I paraphrase; Quarters would have been a better fit. He always gets it right.
