Also, for my personal benefit, it allows me to look at all of my Byzantine coins, in 2 photos, while I&#039;m sitting at my computer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]</p><p>I recall seeing a few of your nice tray photos, of your excellent Roman Republic denarii, and your excellent Roman Empire denarii, if I remember correctly.</p><p>Yes, 1-compartment trays have their advantages and disadvantages.</p><p>At the moment, I have all of my ancient coins, in three 1-compartment trays. I keep my ancient Greek and ancient Roman coins in one 1-compartment tray, my Byzantine coins in one 1-compartment tray, and my other ancient coins in one 1-compartment tray.</p><p>On the other hand, I keep my favorite medieval coins, Spanish Colonial coins, US coins, and English coins in a 24-compartment tray.</p><p>I keep each of the above 4 Abafil trays, in a separate Abafil &quot;Diplomat 2&quot; case. Each case is meant to hold 2 regular-depth Abafil trays, but I just put 1 tray in each case, so I can simply open a case, and look at the coins, without having to move trays around.</p><p>Yes, over time, the coins in a 1-compartment tray, eventually move around. I used to exercise, in the same room, where I kept my coins. I stopped doing that, when I noticed, that the coins were migrating, because of the vibrations of the floor. Whenever I move a case, I&#039;m always careful, not to move the case too quickly, and to hold the case horizontal. Heaven help me, if I ever drop a case. Maybe, I would have some sort of minor meltdown.</p><p>With the above arrangement, my coins don&#039;t move too much. However, whenever I look at my ancient coins, I always have to move some of them around a little bit, to get them back into a decent arrangement.</p><p>However, when I took these group photos, it took some time, to carefully arrange the coins, and to rotate the coins, into the proper orientation.</p><p>On the other hand, I can fit all of my 33 Byzantine coins, of various sizes, in a single 1-compartment tray, in chronological order. And, I can fit all of my 14 ancient Greek coins, and all of my 37 ancient Roman coins, a total of 51 coins, of various sizes, in a single 1-compartment tray, in chronological order.</p><p>However, I have plenty of 24-compartment trays, including a deep-depth 24-compartment tray, and extra cases, in case I ever decide, to put my coins in those trays.</p><p>For now, I like the 1-compartment trays, for my ancients. But, someday, I may put them in the 24-compartment trays, because of the reasons you mentioned.</p><p>I don&#039;t know, if my way of doing things, would work, for a large collection. My collection is relatively small, and I look at my coins relatively often. Therefore, I can &quot;catch&quot; the coins, before they drift to the point, of actually touching each other.</p><p>Fortunately, the Abafil velvet is very soft. Therefore, I don&#039;t think, that the small movement of the coins, is causing any wear, on the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=87809]@cmezner[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
