Coin display device

Claim 2

A coin holder comprising a support, said support comprising a generally planar surface, a recess in said surface defined by side wall means and a bottom wall, said bottom wall closing said recess and being adapted to support a coin in said recess, a closure for said recess, said closure comprising a transparent lid with a substantially annular flange depending therefrom, said flange being telescopically received in said recess in sliding frictional contact with said side wall means, and inwardly facing spaced portions of said annular flange comprise means for releasably holding a coin therebetween.

Claim 3

A coin holder as defined in claim 1 wherein said telescopically sliding flange has at least one raised projection thereon for increasing said sliding frictional contact.

Claim 4

A coin holder as defined in claim 2 wherein said recess is circular, said side wall means being annular and said raised projEction comprising a transparent chord on said annular side wall.

Claim 5

A coin holder as defined in claim 1 wherein the axial dimension of said flange is greater than the axial dimension of said side wall means so that said lid is spaced from said support when said closure is supported thereby, and said lid extends radially outwardly of said flange.

Claim 6

A coin holder as defined in claim 1 wherein said surface has a plurality of sides, and said sides define a pentagon.

Claim 7

A coin display device comprising three supports, each of said supports being substantially pentagonal in configuration, a juncture on each of said supports defined by two sides and their included angle, said supports being interconnected along said junctures so that the vertices of said included angles are coaxial, a recess in each of said supports defined by side wall means and a bottom wall, a closure for said recess, said closure comprising a lid with a substantially annular flange depending therefrom, said flange being telescopically received in said recess in sliding frictional contact with said side wall, and means mounted on said closure for releasably holding a coin therein.

Claim 8

A coin display device comprising three supports, each of said supports being substantially pentagonal in configuration, a juncture on each of said supports defined by two sides and their included angle, said supports being interconnected along said junctures so that the vertices of said included angles are coaxial, a recess in each of said supports defined by side wall means and a bottom wall, a closure for said recess, said closure comprising a lid with a substantially annular flange depending therefrom, said flange being telescopically received in said recess in sliding frictional contact with said side wall, and means mounted on said closure for releasably holding a coin therein.

Claim 9

A coin display device as defined in claim 6 including each of said supports having a support leg depending from the side opposite said included angle to rest on a single plane surface.
