Best way to display a type set?

[Joe_G.-migration]

Just found the site although I've been collecting for awhile. I've nearly completed an 1887 type set, all 13 from copper & nikel to silver and gold and would like to display them in one fairly compact holder. Does anyone offer a service to make a custom holder that allows easy viewing of both sides of the coin? An option would be to have NGC or similar grade everything in the same size holder and slide them into a nice frame but I'd like a little more custom look.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

First, I’d like to welcome you to the board Joe!

 

Capital Plastics makes custom holders that you may like. Here is a link to their web site Capital Plastics

 

Good luck

Welcome to the boards!

Board member Ken (solid is his user name) makes custum type holders. He pops in here every once and while.

Thank you both, I'll discuss my options with both contacts. We should be able to work something out to my liking.

 

Thanks.

NGC has also started offering a multi-coin holder, however, I don't know what the limit is as to size. You may want to contact them on this one. Good luck.

yes capital plastics have been doing this for years and years designing custom holders

 

they have fantastic materials and do a great job

 

i would do a two part separate holder set with both holders small enough to put in a safe deposit box this makes sense to me and also i would rather have two smaller custom holders for this set then one bigger holder

 

good luck and hope you get something that you are happy with and that all this food for thought might help you make a better decision for yourself

Here's one of those capital rattlers or something simular to them.

Here's a good way to display a type set... although probably not exactly what you're asking.
