[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3114993, member: 83956"]I think Abafil trays are the most attractive.

The prospect of placing coins in flips in trays, to me, defeats the purpose of the tray, which is to keep the coin readily accessible and reduce the chances of bronze disease by letting the coins "breathe."
