<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2446866, member: 44210"]I recently finally got myself 2x2 coin boxes to house my collection, along with some Saflips that I desperately needed. Coins in the boxes are organized by either culture or nation (Greeks, Roman Republic. Roman Empire, Islamic, etc.). I then thought I'd come up with some way to differentiate the start and end of each group within the boxes. So, with the help of Word and a bit of Photoshop I designed the following. They seem simple but getting the margins and spacing and the size of the words exactly how I wanted them got a bit annoying, and the chi-rho pictures had no color so I had to add the colors in, but they were worth it. They are (or at least are going to be) a little taller than the flips so that they stick out, kind of like file folder tabs. I've completed four so far, and I'll post the others when I complete them.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/roman%20repvblic-1_zpsywrxyzy0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>(I know the founding date for the Republic is wrong.
