<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2890402, member: 19463&quot;]Storage is a real problem when a collection reaches a certain size.&nbsp; I use paper envelopes to store my coins and keep the bulk down to what I can carry in one trip.&nbsp;&nbsp; When our collections grow, we face tough choices.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not my coin room:</p><p><img src="http://www.smb.museum/fileadmin/_processed_/a/8/csm_01_Profil_f3436fb14c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/muenzkabinett/ueber-uns/profil.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/muenzkabinett/ueber-uns/profil.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/muenzkabinett/ueber-uns/profil.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Counting drawers and holes in the open trays, my collection would fit in one of these wall units with room to spare (I&#039;m guessing each holds ~5000 coins and the part of the room we see in this image over 100,000???).</p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously, most of our CT members with high value coins limit their collections to a smaller number of coins.&nbsp; I believe trays are the best answer but that is a serious investment for a collection of thousands of coins.&nbsp; My coins are mostly cheap and not offended by paper envelopes.&nbsp;&nbsp; You need to buy a tray or sell some coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
