    My ancient purchase this month is this Greek silver Tetradrachm. I’m starting to get a nice collection of Greek silver.

    Here’s how I’m storing my ancients. I have a abundance of these holders so I find an insert close to the right size to hold the coin securely then add the information provided on the slip. Thoughts? F6DA3EC5-88DD-4588-8108-F311CB7DE833.jpeg FF53AC4C-1C79-4E6A-A4F9-05F90898C4C9.jpeg

    That's an interesting way to hold them. Though it may get to be expensive if you end up with a fair amount of coins. It also makes it difficult to get the coin out and hold it, which a lot of ancient collectors enjoy doing :p
    That is an absolutely beautiful tetradrachm btw!

    Thank you, it caught my eye really quick. So did the other half dozen Greek coins he just picked up.
    These holders pop apart easily so you can enjoy some one on one time. 4CC02ADF-D84F-4B6F-B30B-784545EF39C8.jpeg
