Great idea. Looks good too.

Makes my humble word-processed 2x2 inserts with full attribution pale by comparison. And those took FOREVER to compose and get "just right" on my Imperial Portrait set. Nice work!

Great work and a stunning collection!

I seem to recall that you did something similar for some items you loaned out for presentation once. Do you include the actual coin itself in the physical display? and if so, how or what do you use to safely mount it?

Very nice layout, and the collection is even better.

Thank you all for the kind comments. This is an attempt to make a public display for a small group of non collectors this Fall. That requires a different level of information and I still haven't managed to distill the text enough ...

Spoon - Yes, I have done public displays of coin material in the past including the Mayer collection of Colorado Territorial gold at the Colorado Historical Society. A favorite display was one I did that mixed postal history with coins and currency in 2006 for a large stamp show. That "Paying the Postage" exhibit may be seen HERE..

I mount the coins in custom-drilled Capital plastic holders (without the outer plexi protectors) directly to the archival paper page (the trial pages don't have coin mounted yet but a box of correct dimension and actual size image of coin). The whole sheet is then placed in another sheet protector of mylar. These pages can be mounted in "A" frames sich as shown below and easily viewed. This system is very different from most coin display which I find pretty awful as displays.

An image of the frames used is below.


A second trial Roma page is HERE. and small pic below.

A wonderful, informative way to display your awesome collection.

p.s. I have never heard the phrase 'slow biga' before.
Is there another type of biga as well?

Swampboy - Thank you. A "fast" quadriga (four galloping horses) is on the second page as shown in previous post. I don't have any with fast "biga" (two horses) though ...
