[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2167784, member: 71514"]You mentioned keeping your notes with the coins. Be careful of the inserts that you get. I have a mixture of circular and square. The circular ones are very shallow and of course you are limited to the notes you can keep with it. The first pic shows the 16mm circular insert, mainly for my iddy biddy Greek coins, but a really thick coin has to go in a larger tray. [ATTACH=full]418104[/ATTACH] I have 22mm square inserts for things like denarius sized coins:[ATTACH=full]418105[/ATTACH] The largest 35mm for things like sestertius etc [ATTACH=full]418107[/ATTACH] From these measurements, you can see why I use a circular label to go with each coin in the tray. The aluminium case that I have (for the good stuff) have 2x2 inserts. I keep quadrum capsules in there (because they look cool) and you can keep a 2x2 note under the coin if you want to. I didn't want to keep some notes in the index box and some in the case, so they all go into the index box. And by the way, I got the different size inserts because you can store more coins per tray!
