Can anyone recommend a coin case/box/cabinet to store 60x60 medals?

Thanks.

    I have no personal experience with the item, but this 'looks' like it would work.

    As an added bonus, the 'box/drawer' fits inside of Alu coin cases MB5 and MB10.

    What do you mean by “60 x60 medals?” Square medals 60 mm on a side? How thick?

    Forum member @Bodin ,I hope I got that right, built a beautiful cabinet showing start to finish his project. If he ever wants to change careers, he definitely has the talent for fine furniture/carpentry work. Maybe someone reading this can provide a link.

    I meant the diameter of the medals are about 60mm, so the space need to be 60x60. The thickness is about 3mm.

    I like this one I have for my challenge coins....Need another now since I have exceeded the capacity. Cheers, RickO

    I am new here but would you happen to know the make and model of this nice looking display case. I collect challenge coins too might want to buy one of these. TYIA

    Figure out what you want and have someone make it. :)

    Spendy, a bit, but a nice bespoke cabinet in walnut or mahogany would be gorgeous.

    What size are your medals and how many do you have? I have some high relief 32mm Presidential medals that fit perfectly in these pages-

    That looks really neat.
    The medal diameter is roughly 60mm, since they are old, sometimes is not exactly 60mm, maybe +/-1mm.

    I don't know if those pages come with a diameter that large.

    My Aluminum, foam lined case for my rare encapsulated and gold coins has foam inserts that are exactly 60mm wide and wide enough to hold the medals without them touching. i think the case holds 50 encapsulated coins.

    Might work for you!

    The largest I see here is 51mm diameter. You may want to contact them to see if they have anything larger.

    They do have the box with similar size. But I do not like how it is made.
