For the past 20+ years I've done coin displays for our annual show. I find it to be a lot of fun plotting out the various themes for the displays. It works best with raw coins, but have done a few with mostly holdered coins. Here's just a few of the simple displays that I have done and people seem to like.

    Very cool. It must be fun and rewarding. I’ve always enjoyed the display at shows. What annual show are you referring to?

    Fantastic! I am always messing around with various displays, themes, dates, etc. and find that incorporating coins and currency of a particular era very satisfying.

    That looks good and you probably at alot of fun assembing it. I've got 3 dealer cases that I bought at a yard sale. I forget what I paid but they came with covers. They sold old toys.
    I wanted to do my own display with them but I just can't find the space to do it.

    The Quad City Coin Club's annual show in Milan, Illinois. the first weekend in April. It's always a nice show.

    The last two displays were entitled "The Affects of Toning". It looks like I had two pictures from when I showed them on different years.

    I forgot to say that when they were actually displayed, the coins were taken out of the 2 X 2's and placed on stacks of two wooden nickels.
