I believe I did this for scouts, but never did finish the merit badge for coin collecting 
The Morgan and Peace dollars were gifts from my grandfather (he gave one each to all of his grandkids at birth: 17 of us grandchildren), the Barbers came from an order back in a comic book if I remember right, and the rest were from trades with friends who had paper routes, and from circulation.
That rough cardboard sure created some grizzly reactions with the reverses on quite a few of the silvers.
You can tell what era I did this by the slots: early 70s-- no bicentennials yet, but Ike is there, etc.
Hope you enjoy! And maybe if you have something nostalgic, you could post it here.

Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

...now if the coins had been straight, would you have gotten your badge...?
<< <i>I like the first phrase just above Ike.

Didn't know if you intended the pun.... but maybe it was because I'm 'straight'
On the bright side, Scouting was a great experience; alas, I made it to Life, only two badges short of the lofty Eagle
edited for spelling.
it's called natural toning and it's seldom seen anymore......and no taco bell napkin on earth can replicate it
thanks for sharing this!
