<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 4506374, member: 15481&quot;]The black material inside is a kind of foam, which makes it flexible. I prefer using a size slightly smaller than the coin, which will hold the coin firm in place. 18 mm is good for most denarii, for example. This will stretch the foam where the diameter of the coin is «long», and tighten where it is short. If the coin is very odd shaped, you can of course cut the foam to fit better.</p><p>The problem is if coins are very thick. The inner dept of the holder is just around 4mm. So it will not work with a sestertius or a tetradrachm. I find them very suitable for a denarius, as, dupondius, drachm, etc.</p><p>I use both the 38x38mm holders and the 50x50mm holders. The largest ones for the most royal coins, of course. They need a little space. I think it creates a very nice visual effect to see them side by side on black background. It gives me a feeling that at least some things in my life is orderly and in place <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It is easy to get the coins out, no problem. The holder will collect dust and finger marks, but they are easily removed with a cloth.</p><p>This is of course a more costly way to keep the collection. The box, which was better looking than I hoped for, costs 60-70€. A pack of 10 holders costs around 6€. That’s around 100€ for a box for 60 coins (50x50), or 120 for a box containing 90 coins (38x38). This is for the «Volterra trio» presentation case.</p><p>You can also buy a storage box for 100 holders, arranged more economically with regard to space. I use them for the bulk of my coins, which are stored in safe spaces.</p><p>Changing to this system has cost me a couple of denarii, but I feel it’s been a good upgrade of the collection in itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
