<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 3329405, member: 99456&quot;][USER=81093]@AussieCollector[/USER] - you have unleashed an impressive thread with your OP and photos of elegant presentation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Interesting to see the diversity of systems , and admire the stunning coins presented&nbsp; (or &quot;artifacts&quot; to be inclusive of [USER=75525]@rrdenarius[/USER] weights and scales, [USER=90666]@Andrew McCabe[/USER]&nbsp; &quot;aes grave in bag format&quot;).&nbsp; [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER] - are those all alexandrian in the tray with your Hadrian hippo?&nbsp; the set is enviable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the ease of access of the traditional, wood cabinet &amp; trays for presentation and have a mahogany cabinet by Peter Nichols, purchased in the 1990&#039;s while living in the UK.&nbsp; Although he has since retired, his<a href="http://www.coincabinets.com/pheon.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincabinets.com/pheon.html" rel="nofollow"> business continues</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/PNCabinetMakers/videos/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/PNCabinetMakers/videos/?ref=page_internal" rel="nofollow">(FaceBook page</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>Lately I have been adding circular tags to the drawers on acid free card stock made with a 1&quot;/25mm paper punch.&nbsp; I keep old flips, letters, and other provenance in a 3 ring binder, using photo corners to hold in pages (another archaeic technology choice).</p><p><br /></p><p>On the computer, I have an excel inventory and a file folder loosely organized by&nbsp; type (Parthian, Republican, Roman, Greek...) to maintain images, electronic receipts, eBooks, etc.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]881975[/ATTACH]</p><p>Trays are grouped generally by type with the exception of a &quot;Large&quot; category.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tray themes undergo evolutionary transformation about every 5-10 years with mass extinction events (sales via auction house) and Cambrian explosions (purchasing sprees).&nbsp; As the photo above illustrates - order and rationale for what you find in the trays is loose - although there is usually some logic to it e.g. the reverse on Septimius Severus in the photo is PART MAX PM TR P X (with captives).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
