[QUOTE="iamtiberius, post: 1425848, member: 37707"]Hello, My name is Michael Higley. In my random 2 AM "Ancient Googling Quests" I happen to come upon this forum. It seems well formed and the members are informative. So.... I joined. Just a quick question - I noticed in one of the threads, an individual had posted something concerning Typed or Hand Written Descriptions in Coin Flips. I was curious to what the Ancient Coin Community on here thought of 2x2 cardboard holders? That is what I use and have been using to store my ancients. I'm fairly analytical in thinking and enjoy geometric visuals. With that, I like uniformity and organization. I also tend to think of the 2x2 holders as protection. Although, recently I find myself disappointed when presenting my coins to individuals. The best part of ancients is being able to handle and "feel that weight." Something you can't convey through cardboard and plastic. What do you guys think? Should I cut the 400+ coins out of their cardboard coffins and invest in the plastic folding flaps? I was also thinking, as a new member, It would be easier to take them out for pictures, instead of getting that annoying reflection off of the plastic. Especially for the bronze coins, which I have such a hard time viewing detail behind the plastic shield. Thoughts? Opinions? Hate mail? Throw it at me. Thank you in advanced - Mike[/QUOTE]
