[QUOTE="onecenter, post: 2834952, member: 8703"]American coin sets are probably the most stable in terms of packaging, particularly by size, style, type, even texture and color, for long, long periods. I have expanded my collection greatly in the past seven years with many world sets and individual coins, the vast majority in original government packaging. Display has never been possible and the diversity of packaging in world coins would never lend itself to a one-size-fits-all or standardized display. If I want to look at a specific part of my collection, I just haul out that box for hours of enjoyment. I prefer archival acid-free boxes from University Products with lids that are very strong, durable, flexible, adaptable and can be stacked easily. I organize by country or another collection subgroup like euro mint sets, Australian proof commemoratives, South African proof sets (must lie flat), ASEs or "pucks."[/QUOTE]
