[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4500254, member: 51347"]If you use the SEARCH function (upper right on the page), you will find many different storage and display methods. Here is mine. Nothing is fool proof, nothing is perfect, and it depends upon YOUR needs! I like trays a lot, however, I do not trust myself. So, I figgerred out a method of AcidFree (yeah, I manufactured for the "Memories / Scrapbooking" Markets for years), and to ensure desiccants were incorporated into the storage / display. I HAVE SHOWN THIS IN PAST THREADS... I use 2x4 open Saflips in Albums so that I have the attributes for each side as I view the coin. 6 Saflips per page. Provenance captured in Saflip and/or customs and other provenance papers captured in a folder. Album: Desiccant Pages in front and back; 6 slot open Saflips as 2 x 4; Attributes on front and back in top pocket of Saflip; can flip page to see obv and rev. and attributes on both side for each coin; Each album page separated by 100 lb archival card stock.; Album slides into Archival safe Album Cover. Perfect for my Home Safes as well as my Bank Safe. Easy to view, present, store. Card stock gives a background, as well as "padding" between the album pages. Desiccant pages in books, desiccant packets in Safes. Easy-access active Glocks, Rugers, S&W's program in place. :) [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-1-28_8-27-53-png.580121/[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-1-28_8-28-22-png.580122/[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-1-28_8-38-55-png.580123/[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-1-28_8-40-59-png.580124/[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-1-28_8-41-31-png.580125/[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-1-28_8-42-3-png.580126/[/IMG] However the BEST STORAGE, EVER, is how I store all my loose world coins that I have collected over the years from my business travels: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/my-world-coins-kept-from-travels-jpg.984510/[/IMG] THIS is the BEST way to store them.
