<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JGGonzalez, post: 2821440, member: 84491&quot;]I was always torn between slabs and flips. I like flips because you can see the coin and they fit just about any size, but I&#039;ve had a few occasions where I&#039;ve handed one to someone who isn&#039;t a coin collector and they either don&#039;t realize you can flip it open to view the other side, or they flip it open and the coin slides out the top (luckily it was only once and I managed to hide the body).</p><p><br /></p><p>Capsules are nice, but most aren&#039;t thick enough for ancients and there isn&#039;t room for a description. Slabs have labels to hold details, but I&#039;ve always been against slabs because you can&#039;t reopen them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I found these on eBay - they are called Quickslabs. They are like plastic slabs, but have a slot at the bottom so you can pry them apart and close them again. Now I can slab my coins so they are easy to handle, but I can also take them out of the slab if I want to examine them closely, then snap it back together. The labels aren&#039;t very large, but I can record the basics. These slabs are also thick enough to handle a Hadrian sestertius from my collection. I also managed to find some labels and a template in the right size to fit in my printer.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]662517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]662518[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
