First, I called to inquire information about my unique situation, "I would like to frame and hang a medal that's 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter. How do I go about doing this and what will I need?" I spoke with Michael and he told me exactly what I would need and right away, a "riker mount" and "an air tight holder - black rubber gasket" of which he immediately went to see if they had in store. He told me they did and held both pieces for me for whenever I could come in to pick them up.
I left that day to pick the pieces up. The store was easy to find and the staff was friendly, communicated clearly with one another and therefore knew exactly who I was and what I needed, rang me up and I was out of there in 5 minutes tops. They even installed the two pieces for me in the store and now all I had to do was nail it to my wall! Amazing service. Clearly, they not only have the background knowledge, but supplies for even the coins/medals uncommon like mine. Fantastic establishment!
I had tried calling other coin establishments but they had no idea how to go about it. In addition, hobby stores and arts & crafts stores did not know either (like Michael's, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Hobby Bench, all of which I went to).
Also, I paid $5 for the riker mount and $2 for the rubber gasket, amazing! Incredibly affordable. All the shadow boxes at the craft and hobby stores were $10+
