New proof medal and coin display from FUN show

Merc

Here is one of my new coins from the FUN show. It is 1 of 56 made! It weighs the same as the Am. silver eagle, so I assume it is silver. It is the medal given to those who present a educational display at the FUN show.

I did Proof Coinage of the 1940'S. I received 2nd place in US coins. They also gave nice prizes for the award winning exhibits. Best of show received a trip to the ANA museum and grading school in the summer.

Here is my exhibit before I took it to the show.

Proofs of the 1940's

The 1940 Proof Mercury dime I use for my picture was in the exhibit. It was graded PF67 by NGC

Thanks for the comments. I was hoping some people saw it. It took a lot of work to put it together. It took me about 3 years to get all of the proof coins. I bought the halves and dimes first about 3 years ago when they were much cheaper. 5 are graded by PCGS, the 1941 nickel is in an ANACS holder and the rest are NGC graded. I used a white background for each so they would all look the same in the display. This was my first time presenting an exhibit.
