get a clear case like a mini size cd cover and put the coin in and that way it can be seen from both sides.

You want to use inert plastic material. You don't want to use anything that will have chemical reactions with the metal over time. This means no glue, wood, paper or cardboard.
Assuming you have no problem with someone picking up the coin in its protective holder a standard plastic three legged display stand would do the job. You can find them in coin shops or hobby stores. I use this kind of stand for a 3 1/2" mint medal I have. But I do not have any type of holder for the medal.

try a baseball card sleeve or that kind of idea. usually at a stationary or office supply store. Then either hang it from an ornament stand with a hook or they have globes at the craft stores that are clear. They split in half like the plastic easter eggs. But they are clear and round. You could put the coin in the sleeve and then put a string thru the top of sleeve. Open the globe and place the sleeve inside and close the halves on the string that is attached to the sleeve. This will make it dangle inside of the globe. Then hang the globe on an ornament stand or whatever. Hope you understood this.

You can have it slabbed by PCGS or NGC or just a regular coin slab holder. Then place it on a tripod type coin display stand.
I take digital photo's of coins and then sell them on the internet.
You on the other hand want to display the coin. If you can't find a display stand for the coin. You may have to build one out of plastic or wood, which can be obtained at any crafts store.

Capital plastics will make you a holder but I have no idea how much they charge. I am not so sure who owns them now, but go to www.brooklyngallery.com, they may be able to help, for they are a large dealer in coin and stamp supplies. You must have a medal not a coin.You can also try Air-Tites but I am not so sure they make them that large. www.ait-tites.com or sales@air-tites.com. As BD in NM said you must be careful what you make a homemade one out of. Due to crafts there are a lot of acid free cardboard around and most hard plastics are some what safe, such as acetate and the plastic used as windows. I have coins in what are called safety flips, but I look them over from time to time to make sure the coins inside are okay, it is better to be safe than sorry.

cut a hole in a piece of wood big enough for the coin to fit in, then either put it in a slot on a flat base or hang it from an ornament display stand

I like the mirrors suggestion.
You could also glue thread to it, but that may not work.
You can mold plexiglass with a propane torch to make a stand, then put two mirrors behind it like a v, the the coin at the top

go on ebay and look up coin cases and see, they have all clear front and back sided ones, and a easel stand you could display it on also.

Take a picture frame that hangs by wire, place glass on both sides and voila.

you could split in half
or get another coin
or have mirrors surrounding it, so all sides are visable
hope that helped!
