Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 6209086, member: 110350"]I try to leave at least a few empty spaces in each tray so I can add coins without needing to move other coins out of that tray. Even if I do have to move the coins around within the tray. Right now I have Greek and Roman Republican coins in one tray, and Roman Imperial coins in three trays, all in chronological order within those categories. The trays range from 48 to 80 compartments each. I recently moved the Roman Provincial coins out of the Roman Imperial trays into a separate tray, with the Roman Alexandrian coins first and then the others. I decided that I like the way they look grouped together, rather than interspersed with the Roman Imperial coins, where they get kind of lost.  So that's five trays in total right now to hold my approximately 230 ancient coins. I posted a photo of my Roman Republican coins in their tray recently, so I won't do so again right now. In addition, I still have one tray about half full with my remaining British coronation medals, plus about a dozen other trays and one display cabinet partly full of British and other European coins and historical medals -- basically, what I have left after I sold the more valuable parts of my collection a number of years ago. I still have trays full of late 19th and 20th century farthings through shillings, etc., that I began collecting when I was a child.[/QUOTE]
