Coin and Slab Wood Displays? Where to find quality????
MKW
PCGS style slabs. I am looking for something nice, American Made,
with a nice real velvet lining. Not that foam stuff or molded plastic
with a flocked surface. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have several of the airtite wood cases. Typically, these are nicely
hinged but the top will not lay all the way back. The lid/back stops
at 90 degrees, in an "L" shape, and cannot be displayed while open
inside of a locked "Allstate"-style display case.
A couple of years ago, the Airtite people had some wood cases that
they considered "defective" because the lids/tops did lay all the way
back (to 180 degrees). I happily acquired two of them.
The cardboard insert that fits in the Airtite wood case can be
obtained in a configuration for slabbed coins. I am not sure if they
offer a "velvet" looking insert.

You might find these wooden boxes interesting as they have glass top so you
can show off your coins.

I am extensively using them (desk-top mounted) and I am very happy.
I also have 10 (big) AirTite wooden boxes and yes, you are right about them.
It seems that some of those "defective" boxes are in my possession, too, and
I am quite happy they are..."defective";-)

I do custom woodwork in my shop and have both american cherry and black walnut
in stock. I can make up anything you want. All you have to do is forward a
drawing to me of exactly what you want. I charge $25.00 an hour shop time plus
materials. Walnut and cherry are $5 a bd.ft.. I'm located in Southern
Maryland. but will ship.
