  • Patent number: 7100761
    Abstract: A display for a collectible item, such as a coin, in which the collectible item may be rotated relative to the display. In one embodiment, the display comprises a bubble, which can be a semi-rigid transparent material, supported between at least two layers of support material, which can be a rigid material such as card-stock, which are adhered together. The bubble includes a capsule for encapsulating the collectible item, and a flange extending from an outer perimeter of the capsule. The capsule of the bubble is aligned within an opening in the support material so that the collectible item may be viewed. The flange contacts the support layers, and permits the bubble to be rotated within the display. The display also includes an apparatus for rotatably securing the flange between the support layers, which can be a high-gloss heat-resistant coating applied to the support layers over the areas in which the support layers contact the flange.
