Why should bumanfam have fine examples of lovingly hand crafted wooden coin displays? Well, for his fine, lovingly designed Podcacher geocoin collection, of course!

I feel that my coins deserve to be presented in these lovely, hand crafted displays because of the uniqueness of my collection. I have several expensive hobbies, so the missus will not allow me to take up another, such as Geocoin collecting. So I am only allowed to purchase coins that are sold as fundraisers for events, such as the Midwest Geobash. My other coins were either given to me, traded for or won at a contest. In other words, the bulk of my collection was free! So winning a free display will just fit right in. I can tell everyone who gazes on the display with all the coins, "I didn't pay a penny for any of that!" |

Sparticus06's coin collection could definitely use a beautiful wood display for all of the coins in the collection are hidden away in a binder. They need to be displayed out for all to see.

Being new in the geocaching community and even newer into geocoin collecting, I do not even have a binder to put my geocoins in. A wood display to put these coins in to display them to the world would be a great way to start my collection off right and encourage my wife to allow me to purchase more coins! |

Team RoKeT need a nice way to display their geocoin collection so that they can have pride of place in our house. They are currently overshadowed by Mr Team RoKeT's guinness collection and are FAR FAR NICER!
PLEASE |

My coin collection deserves to be displayed in this because as of right now they live in a small Tupperware container in a plastic bag in my closet. I have some really nice coins that I spent a lot of money on and it's just a shame that they aren't seen more often (especially my Podcacher coin!) |

Your show got me to thinking about where my coins are presently housed. They currently languish in a small, (though ornate) cardboard box. They really should be properly displayed. If I'm lucky enough to win this display, that problem is solved... if not, ol' Longreacher may have to dig out the router. Believe me, nobody wants to see Lefthanded Longreacher trying to wield a power tool. |

Hmm, because right now my modest collection of geocoins is housed in various envelopes and such in a drawer in my nightstand. There are probably coins I forgot I even have in there.
Now if I had these awesome displays, they could be saved from the drawer and proudly displayed as they deserve to be, to be admired by all!
I am sure it would inspire me to add to the collection as well.

Reason 1 - Because my coins are in some old money bag tucked away in a dark closet.
Reason 2 - I only have coins from states I have cached in.
Reason 3 - When I get my new podcacher coin, I need somewhere to display it, other than a bag.

in a small cardboard box.. Winning a Crafter Of Wood coin display will make it breathe, soothe the eyes of everyone going by and fill the house with astonishing colors!
