<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ArtDeco, post: 24892607, member: 119259&quot;]So I&#039;ve been pondering for a long time on how to display/store my ancients while making it more eye appealing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went ahead and purchased some Abafil cases since they have good &quot;Italian&quot; velvet lining and use natural materials (wood, silk ect.) I decided on the 2x2 celled size and the 1&quot; mini-diplomat cases becuase of the advantage of displaying my coins securely within my Guardhouse 2x2 flips</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/kaUWCt8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would just leave the coins out on top of the coin flips (since I&#039;m afraid even the velvet lining could possibly wear out the reverses overtime), strictly leaving the coins in the 2x2 flips would also mean I won&#039;t be able to handle and examine the coins more closely between my fingers.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Now the problem I&#039;ve been having with the smaller thinner and flatter coins like Roman Denarii is that they tend to slip out of their current cell and hop over to the next one. It happens when the case is closed and I move the case around a little bit even if I keep the tray horizontally flat while moving it. This could also be due to the fact that the cells are quite large (to fit 2x2) which gives the coin more chances to shift around near the gap between the cells.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I finally think I&#039;m ready to get another Abafil case with smaller cells so I can store more coins and keep the collection looking more compact and uniform, do any of you experience you Denarii slipping into other cells on your abafil cases (smaller cell version)?</p><p>If so, what could I do to prevent this if I want to travel with these cases if I were to bring them in a backpack ect. ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
