I have been reading this for a long time but this is the first time that i have ever posted anything. Although i have seen many threads about this topic i wanted to post my specific situation and ask for advice. Background: My family has collected coins for 3 generations and fortunatly my daughter is no different and loves to work on this hobby with me. I currently have a large safe that i keep everything in but as time has went on it has gotten to the point to where i can hardly put anymore in it. I have organized and reorganized it many times and changed out coins many times into many different containers. Currently i have a lot of Tubes "the round plastic ones with caps on them" filled with coins. I have 2x2's in the long little red boxes, albums, folders, single plastic round coin "clip" holders, slabs, plastic flips, etc.. basically every type of storage you can think of i have it in some form. I would very much like to redo my collection and make it standard, i have a bit of OCD and this would greatly help me with making everything nice and neat.
