<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2821994, member: 19463"]I do like the concept of Gavin's "temporary plastic display units" and figured my collection would stack up to about 150 feet or short of 17 stacks floor to ceiling not allowing for the few coins too large or small to fit in a standard plastic unit. My collection is never in one place at one time since it outgrew the largest box my bank offered even using paper envelopes. You guys with a single $10,000 coin really have attractive options not available those of us with a thousand $10 slugs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do like the idea of being able to open and close holders.
