<p>[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2890530, member: 75525"]How many trays do you have in your coin case? I see only one tray. I have more than one holder for trays. One is a small case that holds two trays and has 20 spaces per tray. For my aes collection, I sometimes have more than one item per tray. I would not double up anything that is "mint state" or close to that grade. Most ancient coins do not approach mint state, but some gold and a few silver ones do. Scratches are bad for high grade coins. Never stack in the trays. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]694512[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I also have two Abafil brief cases. They hold more trays and coins per tray.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]694519[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I always carry the cases flat. It looks a bit strange to carry a brief case flat, but I put them in a LARGE IKEA bag. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the small cases new, and the larger ones used. Unless your collection is big, one or two of these should hold your collection, and fit in a safe or your safe deposit box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
