With a reasonable delay, a collection of 1000 objects only takes ~three hours to cycle. You know you have 'arrived' when your slide show displays things you forgot you owned. I know pictures are not the same as the actual coins but this is one answer to your option #3.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the earliest days of my hobby I used Dansco books for my ancients.
