US 6,604,626 B1 · Coin display case

Abstract

A coin display case provides for the selective viewing of each face of each coin displayed, independently of other coins displayed therein. The case has a base with a storage drawer, with a sloped display area thereabove for the flat display of coins which do not fit the pivotally mounted holders of the rest of the case. A shelf mounting area at the back of the base provides for a series of coin display shelves to be stacked thereon. Each shelf comprises a rectangular frame with a series of opposed coin holder pivots extending inwardly from each major wall. The pivots enable coins held therebetween to be pivoted about their vertical axes, for viewing both sides of commemorative coins minted with both faces having the same orientation. Alternatively, the shelves may be placed with the pivots aligned horizontally, for viewing both sides of monetary coins having relatively inverted opposite faces.
