This is a penny holder I had made in acrylic. It's two panels sandwiched together with screws. The screws are hollowed out at the bottom so that it can be wall mounted (or can be left flat on a desk too). Now to fill the holes. Funny how expensive they get the farther back you go lol!
You’ll save some money by not having to buy a 1922 No Date. Since this is simply a mint error I would not put it in either. This display is really beautiful. Are the dates and mintages incised into the acrylic or printed on? How do you keep the coins from falling out the back if you use only two panels? Seems like you would need a back, a panel with the holes, and then a front panel?
Why didn't you add the 1922 no D and the 1955 Doubled Die? It is a very nice holder. Welcome to CT, thanks for sharing.
That's a neat holder! Never seen one quite like it before. Do you plan on making more for different sets?
Hi guys, to answer the questions - I had these made through my company as a side project. It's from an acrylics factory in China (where else, right?) - It's actually three panels but the back two are glued together (the back panel with the printing and then a secondary panel with the holes). There's a cover in the front which can be left off if you don't mind the coins being out in the open. With BU though I prefer to put have it on. The pennies stay in place because the holes are just barely wider. Same concept here as the old paper penny books. There's a notch so you can stick a paper clip to take them out if needed. - I decided against the 22 no D and other variants because that's a slippery slope. Don't even know how many recognized varieties there must be nowadays! - Yes, I'm planning on selling them but not sure how. Ebay I guess. My cost to make is around $35 with shipping which is probably a lot considering this is just plastic but who knows. Was also thinking of making a Lincoln version. Thanks for the compliments!
Considering that a new Capital Plastics holder for Lincoln cents costs $75, you could probably charge $100 and get away with it. Your holder looks much better than a Capital holder IMO.
Wow, that's really cool! Keep in mind it is not air tight and the coins will tone. I would add some layers of protection, i.e. giant ziplock and a sealing container to hold it all.
