Project completed - 1 ounce coins - graded pcgs - 70 wall display

[Pampfan]

Here is the completed project. It took some time to get all the coins - but I think this is a good first start to a world silver coin collection. I am now working on the ngc version with coins I couldn’t find at decent prices in pcgs holders.

all coins in 70 condition and 1 ounce of silver.

No Britannia, no collection!

 @Robjw It will be in the ngc version.

I guess @Pampfan will be trying for a Britannia in the NGC holder.

Just pulling your leg, great collection and best of luck with the NGC attempt now too.

Great collection mate! Keep going with that spirit and will!

Looks cool!

[JonCL]

Dammit! There’s another (expensive) idea for us newbies!!

Looks great.

Beautiful presentation, well done!

@Pampfan Did you buy the frame off the shelf or is it a custom made one? I’ve done a quick google search and found nothing as good as yours.

[Pampfan]

@JonCL I bought the frame on eBay. It has a foam liner - with a back board and a clear plastic front - the frame is wood.

Thanks for that- very nice indeed.

I think this is a great idea! Last year I also successfully collected the world’s most popular coins but in their ungraded 1/4oz gold format. Anyone who’s interested in framing their 1oz silver coin collections which aren’t slabbed can adapt empty Chinese Panda trays to that purpose. I’ve thought about framing my coins but worried about money-grubbing relatives and potential thieves.

Discreet magnets buried within the outer frames can be used to attach simple decoy 'cover pictures' within seconds, which thieves would never go near, and nosey relatives would likely not ask about (terribly ugly nudes of men and women etc). In fact, they might like to stop coming round completely!

“Money-grubbing relatives” - that is a very funny saying - I will definitely watch out for those. 😜

I did the same thing with a couple of my sets last year. Lunar series 2 Unique full 1/2oz proof set 9 X PF 70s  & 2012 1/2oz Britannia 1/2oz proof set all PF 70s one in my study the other in my sitting room. I'm also going to frame my 1oz silver proof queens beasts in PF 70 when I've completed the set.

Same thing...lol.

Was going to get a coin display for my office then thought the same thing, have the cleaners come in and clean me out, can get coin displays for challenge coins that can hole loose or capsule coins..I still have to have my £5 white fiver framed that my wife got me two years ago for my birthday...especially as it's onky 5 weeks till my birthdayagain...lol.wondering she'll get me a white tenner?...lol.

I like @kimchi ‘s idea. When I’m not home I will put a picture of my face over the frame. No one will want to look twice at it - ie. “Safe and sound” - LMFAO
