Is that a pin display, Jim? What's the size and vintage, would you say? Wonder who sold that originally?

It’s a fairly new display piece. You can find them for sale in a lot of coin shops and the like. People use them for pins, buttons, collectible, coins, and other small trinkets. They’re a little clear plastic capsules with a foam insert.

Cool. Would like to see one completed.

Hank, here’s an example of what a few pins look like.

Nice - what's the biggest pin you can get in there?

Didn't want to "out" it prematurely, but now that it's over...

Any comments/observations on lots #37 - 42?

Hi Mark,
Huge prices for pinbacks, IMHO, but I know they are rare.

The “Mantle Factor.”

I liked the $4500 milk carton.

I don’t know what the exact measurements are, but here’s a Quarter in one of them and there’s still white space around the rim.

I did cut the white foam inserts in half to lower the pinback in the container so that the face of it would not scratch against top of the plastic.

Thanks!
