The gold prize-winning coin display case that's selling out fast

Every challenge coin collector knows the feeling.

You open that drawer, storage box, or dusty container in the attic, and your hard-earned coins are scattered or forgotten—designs hidden, memories collecting dust. You earned those coins through years of service. You received them at retirement ceremonies, promotions, and deployments. Yet here they are, tucked away where no one can see or appreciate them.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

For veterans, first responders, and collectors, challenge coins represent more than metal—they're stories, sacrifices, and memories. Yet most people store them in boxes, drawers, or the attic, unable to display them with the pride they deserve.

That's why collectors are switching to premium challenge coin display cases—cases that don't just store coins, but showcase them properly.

One of the most talked-about designs is The Chest by Holme & Hadfield, a display case that's becoming the go-to choice for serious collectors.

With 45-coin capacity, crystal-clear visibility, and premium wood craftsmanship, The Chest ensures your collection is protected while finally being displayed with pride.

After winning Gold at the NY Product Design Awards, this case has become a favorite among military veterans, law enforcement, and collectors who want their coins to get the recognition they deserve.

The biggest frustration for challenge coin collectors? Having a meaningful collection that no one gets to see.

Most people keep their coins in boxes, drawers, or tucked away in storage. Out of sight, collecting dust, running out of room.

The result?

A display case that delivers a high-quality, professional appearance, while keeping coins organized and protected.

The premium wood craftsmanship and crystal-clear display give it an elegant feel, while the removable trays and drawer storage provide room for collections to grow.

For collectors who want to enjoy their coins daily, not just store them, The Chest is a game-changer.

It was nice to finally put my retirement coins on display and I recently started collecting coins. My wife loved it and can’t wait to show it off to visiting family and friends. The only concern is I may run out of room for my additional coins in a few months. Love the product.
