A few shots of my new cabinet
« on: September 18, 2015, 12:03:17 pm »
I recently purchased a wonderful cabinet made by Craig at http://cabinetsbycraig.net and thought I would share a few pictures of it. I couldn't have been more pleased with the work and service provided by Craig. I have recently started switching my collecting focus from U.S. half dimes by die variety to Roman ancients, and wanted a nice mahogany cabinet to store my budding collection. Additionally, my half-dimes that aren't in a holder fit perfectly in the denarius trays. I got exactly what I wanted for a fair price, what could be better ?!!?

Very nice. The holes look nice and deep - shallow recesses can be a problem for thick ancient coins in some cabinet designs. The finish seems excellent.

Apologies for the sideways pictures, technology is not one of my strengths.

That is a very fine display case, congrats. I still have not decided which display option would be best for me.
