Display Frame needed

[GSARider 0]

Hi Ladies & Gents

I'm looking for a glass fronted display frame to house about 10 -12 Silver One Rupee coins to hang up on the wall - anyone help a newbie please.

That depends on what you want to spend. A good picture framers should be able to sort something out for you. Putting felt or velvet behind the coins would allow them to be kept in place by the pressure of the glass so they don't slip around whilst on the wall. Or choose a frame yourself from a shop?

Alternatively Chris here sells coin trays. They can be bought with holes of various sizes so you could select one to hold yours safely. They are quite attractive on their own or you could get some moulding and make a frame around the tray for display purposes? If you message him from here he can perhaps advise.

At least, them's my ideas. Maybe someone else can suggest something better?

Thanks for the reply - I spoke to a local picture framing shop and they'll do a bespoke frame that will hold 8 coins for approx 40-50 quid.

Make sure the frame is mahogany or at a push rosewood.

Pine,oak etc are too resinous and not suitable for coins.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
