Everyone has their own opinion about how to store and present their collections. I have settled on the Lighthouse system. There is absolutely nothing that they don't have. http://www.leuchtturm.com/WebRoot/Store/Shops/leuchtturm_eu/PDF/mk_gbl.pdf
That cabinet-and-tray arrangement is the way they stored valuable coins from the 1880s through the 1920s, give or take, until the first Wayte Raymond brown albums, date unknown, followed by 2x2 manila envelopes and Whitman blue albums (late 1940s?). Since the coins were simply laid into little velvet or felt pockets, over time that led to what auction describers called "cabinet friction," the slightest wear on the highest design areas of otherwise uncirculated coins. That would not happen in a modern container like the OP's.
Wow, I didn't know Lighthouse had cabinets like that! I need to check those out! Edit: I'm a little wary of "mahogany finish," though. That typically means either the wood is stained to look like mahogany or there's a thin mahogany veneer over cheap wood. Cheap wood outgasses and tones coins. Any idea what's really going on with these things?
