What do folks think of this acrylic coin holder?
It’s sort of like a Capitol Plastics holder, but higher quality and manufactured in Mexico. (Does Capitol Plastics still even exist?)

Would anyone consider buying something like this?

It can come with a nice box for table viewing or be wall mounted.

I’d like to hear your comments. Thanks.

Well, it would sure as heck beat the way I have them displayed now.
 

PS
I'd wouldn't mind seeing a Reales denominational set in the same format (in particular portrait reales but pillar coins would be nice as well)

They do customized housings, so that’s possible.

The only thing I think might be a consideration is some of those older coins may have somewhat variable diameters, even slightly off-round.

Since the tolerances are tight (so coins don’t rotate), something might not fit.

@JohnnyCache would you really put your proofs there or only MS coins?

I wouldn't have an issue putting my proofs in that type of holder.
I'd use gloves, which I have.

Not the same thing, but I put a complete set of proof presidential dollars into an album taken from the mint packaging.

I bought proof libertads simply because I like how they look, but if I was to sell them I honestly don't think most dealers are going to pay me much more, if any more, than they would for MS examples. I'd have to sell them myself on ebay or similar and would still not come close to getting costs back.

These are truly purchases of love, I love the design, period. The value comes from my enjoyment of seeing them on my desk. So yeah no hesitation in swapping them over to that type of holder.

VERY nice. And I could have filled it until, in a fit of stupidity I sold the album.

Looks a bit of toning on the 1998 silvers....I've got my libertads in capsules all stacked except for a couple of display items...I have custom Capitol holders for some Brit series (Registry sets, LOL, of my own making).

I have my Mexico 1984 set on a similar display, so yes.

Very nice.

Very nice indeed!

As far as I know, Capital Plastics is still around.

But that’s like a step beyond.
