    Just received this coin tray (40x33mm) that I got from ebay, Abafil is too expensive for me. However I have to say now my collection looks more presentable and 'professional', and I don't have to hold the coins in my hand or put it on the table to take photos!

    That looks fancy. Do you have a cabinet to put them in? That's my big worry.

    Nope, but will get sometime in the future. Also only my 'good looking' coins are in the tray, rest of them are still in their flips and pouches.

    If I were to leave them out, they would end up disappeared. Either from tiny hands or cats. :p

    I trust the family Ranidae is doing well this fine day. ;)
    A friends dog ate five pennies :( which the Vet removed. :)

    Actually, not to be a downer, but I am taking our oldest cat to the vet here in an hour. She is sick and/or dying :(
    2020 ain't over yet.
    Fingers cross she will be ok.

    Ok back to happy things like coins!

    "Just when you thought is was safe to go back in the water," another bummer rears it's head. Good luck with Fluffy. :)

    What is the odd looking silver piece with the Himyar?

    That's actually a potin coin from the Celtic Senones tribe, 52 BC.

    Nice, @JayAg47 ! Great presentation of some great coins. LOL, I would love to display them in that manner, but, I would be apt to bump or drop the tray. PLUS, my 8 Grandkids would be a potential hazard.

    Yours makes for a great photo!

    I particularly chose this dark navy blue to get the contrast against the silver coins!

    VERY much agreed. Works well for AR. You probably need to get a couple BLACK trays, so you can fill it up with Ancient GOLD! :D

    If you look closely to the bottom right, there’s a tiny bit of gold! But I wouldn't mind if every slot contained some chunky gold coins :p

    Your collection looks great. I like to carry coins to coin club meetings in tray(s) with a cover.
