[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2533324, member: 76194"]Here is a little show and tell. This is the Greek section of my collection...yes, only 8 coins so far. :( But at least I bought my 9th Greek today. :woot: [ATTACH=full]541704[/ATTACH] And as you can see from the rear shot below, the folded tag allows me to display additional crucial information/provenance/notes, etc., as well as the collection name. One further benefit is that the tags from previous provenance is tucked inside the folded tag, so you no longer see a mess of old tags when you flip each page. Instead, you now see more information on the coin as you are viewing the reverses. This folded tag system is definitely the way to go. For example, I can display my [USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER] provenance and previous older provenance on my Istros drachm. Very important as this red_spork fellow is going to be very well known one day for being one of the top Roman Republic numismatics experts...so even a Greek coin owned by him is huge. And I can also note at what show [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] bought some of his coins before I won them at auction. It's little details like that that enhance the viewer's pleasure, and let's people know they are looking at a serious collection of genuine ancient coins, and not some Mickey Mouse stuff.
