<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 3795637, member: 106483&quot;]I was never quite happy with storing my large and heavy new styles directly into felt lined trays. Some needed a <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=bit" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=bit" rel="nofollow">bit</a> of persuasion too. After a time the trays became bent and damaged with approx 300 g of unruly silvers <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=per" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=per" rel="nofollow">per</a> tray.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I embarked on finding a solution and the 2 x 2 inch Quadrum capsule system seemed to be perfect. Sadly no.</p><p><br /></p><p>This lovely looking solution is only meant for modern rather thin regular coins not unruly thick ancients. I did ask the manufacturers if they aren&#039;t missing a market but deigned to ignore my enquiries.</p><p><br /></p><p>The storage carrying cases for the Quadrum capsules though are nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I won a coin from <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3043" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3043" rel="nofollow">Roma</a> <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1670" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1670" rel="nofollow">Numismatics</a> and my coin arrived in stylish 3 D <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=style" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=style" rel="nofollow">style</a> display capsule.</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked on the bay for the <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3043" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3043" rel="nofollow">Roma</a> solution which was externally the same size as the Quadrum capsules but can take the thickness of the ancients. I couldn&#039;t find any!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3043" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3043" rel="nofollow">Roma</a> kindly supplied me with their specially made 3 D coin holders and this is the solution and it looks great. Some of my large <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=flan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=flan" rel="nofollow">flan</a> New Styles only just fit in but just is <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=good" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=good" rel="nofollow">good</a> enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Quadrum carry case can normally take 90 2X2&#039;s but due to the extra thickness of the 3 D displays I am restricted to 4 trays- 60 coins-just enough with another 4 poked down the sides-enough for my <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=new%20style" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=new%20style" rel="nofollow">New style</a> <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=872&amp;pos=0&amp;open=872" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=872&amp;pos=0&amp;open=872" rel="nofollow">collection</a> and my few others.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am rather pleased with it and can&#039;t wait to get the rest of my <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=872&amp;pos=0&amp;open=872" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=872&amp;pos=0&amp;open=872" rel="nofollow">collection</a> from safe storage to fill the case, but these 3 examples will show how <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=good" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=good" rel="nofollow">good</a> they look.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am well pleased.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
