Message:: [QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4571362, member: 111037"]This thread gave me many ideas on how to better store/display my coins. I really loved the quadrums, but I wanted something that includes labels for adding some basic information for each coin. Luckily I discovered quickslabs which if I am not mistaken is by the same company that makes the quadrums. They are regular slabs that you can open again and again if you want to examine the coin in hand. Initially I wanted to display them in my antiques cabinet like I did before. So I got some cute little stands to allow them to stand upright. It looked like this: [ATTACH=full]1131892[/ATTACH] One thing I didn't take into account is that my handwriting hasn't improved since the second grade. Still, they looked pretty neat. Problem is that I cannot fit many coins in that cabinet and they looked out of place outside it. Also, I really liked some of the wooden capsule/slab boxes mentioned in this thread, but I wanted something that would allow quick access and easy display. I found the following which has a glass lid and looks really fine. Also it comes with wall mountings to hang on the wall like a picture frame, but I will probably get a little stand to display it on my bookcase.

Only 2 didn't make it, my Owl tet for being too thick and my Parion hemidrachm for having a very small diameter.[/QUOTE]
