4 Ways to Display your Coin Collection

To coin collectors the world over, the money is in the coin, literally. So protecting your coins is a critical step in the preservation of the coin and the value of the coin too. Regardless if you are collecting to resell later or just collecting for the love of the coin and history, storage of your coins is an important part of the collection process and there are methods of preservation that allow you to display your collection too. Here are 4 examples of the many ways collectors display their collections.

Individual Coin Display Boxes - These types of boxes typically hold only one coin or medal. They are made of clear plastic or clear glass and the coin is visible inside the box. These boxes can be placed on tables, shelves, mantles or desk tops individually. This is a great way to showcase a prized coin.

Coin Collection Chests - These types of chests are rectangular in shape and hold two or more collectible coins. They are created in various sizes for small to large collections. The storage areas are lined and amply sized to allow for coins to be stored in their original packaging or protective coverings. They can be placed on tables, shelves, mantles, or desk tops. These types of display cases are great when you have two or more coins in a series, they can be displayed or shown off together.

Wall-Mount Coin Display Cases - These types of display cases are typically made from wood. The display cases can have a protective front (clear plastic or glass door) and contain several display shelves to hold your collectible coins. These types of cases are nice for a serious collector with a large collection of coins to display.

Curio Cabinet Display Cases - These types of display cases are large wooden floor units, just like a display curio cabinet that is used to hold curios and figurines. The difference is that these display cases are specifically made for the coin collector. The cases are typically pricey and are for serious collectors with extensive collections. You will often see these cases being used at trade shows or stores that sell collectible coins.

The right case for your collection will depend on your needs and the amount of coins to be displayed. You can create beautiful displays for your coin collection using several of these options and enjoy the security and preservation that they offer.

  1. The price a coin can be sold for will vary according to the value it holds at the time.
    Generally speaking, the less there are of a certain mint, the faster the appreciation, but this is not always the case.
