[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2167663, member: 71514"]Lindner do extra deep trays, it is worth looking at everything they supply (coinwise) before jumping into any particular system. OK so I shall tell you what I do, it is a bit long winded but in the event of a computer crash, worth it!. Coin comes in and is identified. I print out a label (word template) that used to go into a 2x2 flip but now goes into an index box (see first picture, it is on top of my trays). The same details are put into a spreadsheet. (Cut and paste makes short work of that). When I have a decent(ish) photo, it goes onto Tantaluscoins so that I have a record of it online in case I get burgled. (Cut and paste again) Once the coin is on Tantalus, it goes into a tray. Label goes into the index box. I create a circular label that accompanies the coin into the tray. The circular label has the inventory number on it, emperor's name and on the reverse, a description of the reverse of the coin. I bought a punch to create the circular labels, and it is almost as good as bursting bubble wrap :D So far I have had no problem finding a particular coin. I might update the spreadsheet, once a tray is full, to show the tray number, row and column, but that seems like an awful lot of work. I also have a case like Noob, that is where all the good stuff goes![/QUOTE]
