* 882 POTC cursed coins display *

[Montagar]

I finally got all 882 coins to stay put on a shelf in a Detlof case without any glue or modification to the case.

I pushed the glass shelf as far back as it would go to make the gap in the rear as small as possible. I then hand laid the first 6 layers of coins moving the front row back slightly with each new layer.

The design of the coins actually helped "lock" the layers in place.

Here is a side view.

Here is what the 882 coins looked like all neatly stacked.

Getting a bunch of "X IPB Image" tags and no pics...

We managed to get 140 of the Disney plastic coins which I painted with a gold plate spray and then weathered them slightly. We popped them in a wooden chest and then added 20 of the MR regular gold coins on top as a mix plus the Disney jewels to complete the look. The key sits outside the chest.

:eek Wow. That's a great display. I was pretty happy with the 200 I have until I saw that.

That's dedication :cheers

Looks great. I just hope you don't live in Earthquake country, by a railroad track or where semi-trucks rumble by your place.

Strange... the only thing I can think of is that for some reason my server is not receiving the proper HTTP_REFERER from your browsers.

I have my server set up to only allow the images to be displayed if the URL requesting them is therpf.com, other than that, I can't think of what the problem might be.

It reminds me of one of the machines as Peter Piper where you drop tokens in and hope to make the whole pile fall out.

Very awesome. I'm jealous.

 

[NavMidn]

Boy I'm glad I asked about those images. That is a sight to see. Very cool display.

Man, that is sweet Yet another great use of those handy shelves. I own 4 myself, but I only have 1 coin, so mine would not be cool at all.
Nice work, thanks for sharing the pictures.

Of course, now you've gotta take em all out and weather them
