<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2444709, member: 76086&quot;]Everyone will find what works best for them.&nbsp; In many ways I like paper, as it was the standard when I started.&nbsp; It does have its disadvantages though.&nbsp; The coin cannot easily be viewed.&nbsp; Possibly the biggest problem (for me) is that heavy coins (sestertii, other bronzes) and even thin sharper coins, will cut through the bottom of the envelope, and the coin will fall out.&nbsp; True, it takes some time and handling before that happens, but it does.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have said before I am a fan of trays, especially Abafil.&nbsp; I know they are expensive and likely wont be for everyone with a larger collection.&nbsp; But I have the benefit of a small select collection.&nbsp; Many have mentioned they dont like how they cant secure trays.&nbsp; I use a gun safe (which can be cheap:&nbsp; Costco has smaller ones for just a few hundred, the cost of a few coins, and such a safe can store thousands of coins).&nbsp; They can be bolted into concrete flooring (one would have to use a backhoe to get them out).&nbsp; In case there are any potential thieves out there, there is always someone home and I have specific &#039;protection&#039; to be politically correct.&nbsp; I remember the old days when dealers almost always were packing a pistol to shows.&nbsp; They didnt get robbed often back then, but it is common now (and I dont know any dealer who carries a gun anymore).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
