<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 2979712, member: 84744&quot;]I have also used non-PVC flips inside vinyl pages, and have never had a problem.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never been satisfied with the aesthetics of this arrangement, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to use trays exclusively, but as others have noted in the other threads, once a collection grows beyond a certain point they become impractical. They are too bulky for a safety deposit box, and also very expensive.&nbsp; (Or at least the nice ones are.&nbsp; The Lighthouse trays, in my experience, are too cheap, light, and plasticky... and still pretty expensive!)</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;ve switched to these <a href="https://www.lighthouse.us/presidio-storage-box-for-quadrum-coin-capsules-2x2-coin-holders.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lighthouse.us/presidio-storage-box-for-quadrum-coin-capsules-2x2-coin-holders.html" rel="nofollow">Presidio storage boxes</a>, which are both attractive and capacious.&nbsp; They hold 2x2 double-pocket flips fine, over 150 even for thick ancients, and for most coins over 200.&nbsp; Not all flips fit comfortably, some are a bit too wide; I find <a href="https://coinstampsupplies.com/product/guardhouse-2x2-double-pocket-flips/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinstampsupplies.com/product/guardhouse-2x2-double-pocket-flips/" rel="nofollow">Guardhouse unplasticized vinyl</a> ones are good. The rigid cloth-covered dividers in the box mean that the flips sometimes don&#039;t slide as smoothly as you might like when you flip through them, but they also stay up when you want them to, without sliding all over the place.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I want to show some coins to somebody, I pull the coins I want from the box, and put them directly in a <a href="http://www.guardhouseholders.com/transline-gh24t-elegant-display-tray-24-slots-8112.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.guardhouseholders.com/transline-gh24t-elegant-display-tray-24-slots-8112.aspx" rel="nofollow">Guardhouse tray</a>, in their flips.&nbsp; They look great.&nbsp; (Again, only the Guardhouse flips fit reliably in the trays.)&nbsp; I have quite a few of these trays from a previous storage experiment. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Overall this is the best balance of cost, looks, and practicality that I&#039;ve found.&nbsp; (After trying a <i>lot</i> of different options!)&nbsp; Here are the manufacturers&#039; images of the box, trays, and flips:</p><p><img src="https://www.lighthouse.us/media/catalog/product/cache/15/thumbnail/1640x1640/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/3/4/presidio-storage-box-for-quadrum-coin-capsules-2x2-coin-holders-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.lighthouse.us/media/catalog/product/cache/15/thumbnail/1640x1640/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/3/4/presidio-storage-box-for-quadrum-coin-capsules-2x2-coin-holders-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.guardhouseholders.com/resize/shared/Images/Product/8112.PNG?bw=1000&amp;w=1000&amp;bh=1000&amp;h=1000" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.guardhouseholders.com/resize/shared/Images/Product/954282.PNG?bw=1000&amp;w=1000&amp;bh=1000&amp;h=1000" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
