<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 4016999, member: 83175&quot;]I have a Peter Nichols Crozier and about twenty five Abafil trays (I&#039;ve an idea it may be 27 trays, but I&#039;m not certain without counting), plus an attache-style case which holds a few of the Abafil trays.</p><p><br /></p><p>I much prefer the Abafil trays.&nbsp;&nbsp; I loved the mahogany cabinet when I got it first, but the trays seemed to get a bit warped over time and they get a bit sticky and squeaky to remove and replace.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you collect thin coins, it&#039;s not bad - I had to remove some trays when I used it to store sestertii and other large coins (I moved them to Abafil trays).&nbsp;&nbsp; If you don&#039;t leave some headroom, you risk rubbing thick coins off the tray above.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Abafil case I have isn&#039;t great for carrying the trays as the coins can slide out - they have other cases for carrying the trays horizontally.</p><p>I&#039;ve got some parts of my collection still in the Nichols cabinet, but the parts I am currently interested in reside in Abafil luxury.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an older small (3 trays) Swann cabinet which is very well made, but so far I&#039;ve put nothing in it.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s got room for 216 denarius-sized coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You may find cabinets in auctions - DNW often have them (the Swann cabinet came from DNW), Roma sometimes (the Abafil carrying case came from them).</p><p>These can be a good buy, but postage can be a killer.</p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
