[QUOTE="kanga, post: 7930915, member: 9270"]My US collections is in slabs. Mostly PCGS and NGC with (maybe) an ANACS or ICG kicking around. I'm trying to make it simple to confirm that I have a slab accounted for in my inventory. Since my slabs are stored vertically in boxes I'm thinking of placing a small mark of some sort on the top edge of the slab to confirm that a coin is in my inventory. That way a quick look will confirm whether a slab is accounted for. [B]And a slab won't get stored until it is marked.[/B] 1. Does that method seem reasonable [B]OR[/B] do you have something better? Slab albums take up too much room so they are not under consideration. 2. [B]If[/B] you agree with my marking process, what would make a good marking medium? -- White out? (probably not; it would chip off too easily) -- A bit of tape? (probably not; too labor intensive) -- Indelible marker? (No. I want it removable) -- Fingernail polish? (My best thought so far. Could even employ color codes. Should adhere well but chip off (I think) if I wanted it removed [wouldn't use acetone to remove a mark; plastic and acetone don't like each other]) -- Other marking methods?[/QUOTE]
