QUERY: BOISE, IDAHO ROYAL RESTAURANT COIN DISPLAY

Royal Restaurant coin displays Dave Lange writes:

"I'm attaching images of a brochure that was included in a lot of coin books and ephemera that I picked up on eBay. It's for a restaurant in Boise, Idaho that had large displays of coins and notes, the former mounted in Capital Plastics holders. From the coin prices listed, I'd say that this piece dates to the early-mid 1960s.

"A brief Google search suggests that the Royal Restaurant at 1112 Main Street no longer exists. I wonder what happened to all that loot."

Interesting - I'd never heard of this coin display before. Can any of our readers help? Where did the coins go when the display was dismounted? The owners are listed as Ed Graves and Vince Aguirre. The Newman Numismatic Portal turned up just one reference, a March 19, 1969 Coin World article (p12). -Editor
