Message:: [QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 3264490, member: 89970"]I've used many approaches for storage over the years but now most of my collection is housed in various sized Abafil coin cases.  These are marketed by Ed Waddell.   I have four different sizes, the largest of which is the mini-diplomat with five trays and they all fit in a medium sized safe deposit box. In addition, I have a few coins of very high quality that have considerable luster,  For extra protection I use E&T Kointainer capsules.  These lightweight capsules protect the coins from environmental exposure, all surfaces are visible, and it's quick and easy to remove the Kointainer for photographing or just being "intimate" with the coins (I don't like slabs...at all).  Five coins in this image are in Kointains. [ATTACH=full]859528[/ATTACH] I fully agree.  I have used various approaches to cataloging my collection.  Years ago, i used  3x5 cards with photos glued to the card and all of the pertinent info inked in, I later moved to Excel then to an MS Access database with custom reports, but I have recently become a Mac user so I'm using MS Excel exclusively with embedded images.  I wrote an excel VBA macro to create a one-page per row report that I keep in a three ring notebook.[/QUOTE]
