[QUOTE="Marsman, post: 3896963, member: 99177"][ATTACH=full]1027496[/ATTACH] After reading all I could find on this great CT community about how to storage coins I decided to say goodbye to my cardboard holders. Not an easy decision to make cause this means a whole, whole lot of work :( Why did I decide to quit those holders? [LIST=1] [*]You cannot get the coin out without destroying the holder. For me that is a big problem! [*]Big coins (sestertii) don’t fit easily.... [*]There is not much space to write things down, especially with those big coins. [*]I somehow never seem to have cardboard holders in the good size. [*]IMO coins don’t look that nice in those holders..... [/LIST] What next ? I was not sure what the best choice was: envelopes or flips. I decided to go for saflips and didn’t regret it for one moment. Why not ? [LIST=1] [*]These saflips are wonderful. I have no problem handling them and they don’t crack (anyway mine don’t....). [*]You can go throug your coins and see every coin. A big plus for me. [*]Mine came with handy inserts with lots of room for information. [*]IMO the coins look great in those flips :happy: [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]1027530[/ATTACH] My handwriting is terrible so I decided to use a labelmaker for the following information, in three lines: Number (from my datebase) + name emperor (or other name) Type of coin + size + weight RIC (or other identification) number. For me that is enough to identify the coin. All the other information is in my database. [ATTACH=full]1027515[/ATTACH] I decided to hire a safe deposit where I’ll bring most of my coins. Some of them I’ll keep at home. I am working out some sort of roulating system. This was coin number 64, meaning a long, long way to go yet.... Btw. I bought these saflips from a U.S. shop cause I couldn’t find them in The Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. That makes them rather expensive..... If someone knows a cheaper place to buy them I would love to hear it.[/QUOTE]
