<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2517552, member: 77413&quot;]These are some good ideas. I have actually put some coins, like my lone SLQ, into a slab-sized holder so it fits in a box that has vertical dividers for slabs. So that works for a mix of graded and raw type coins. They are all in a 25-holder box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I have about 250 Lincolns (they just keep making the darned things!) space is an issue.</p><ul> <li>Some were in a Dansco album, which allows for a lot of coins in a minimal volume. But I just don&#039;t trust that to protect them.</li> <li>I just don&#039;t trust vinyl flips to be inert, and the coins can slide around in them, so they&#039;re out.</li> <li>Cardboard 2x2&#039;s are the next most compact method, but they have to be sealed with staples, so they don&#039;t fit in a box very smoothly. They could go in trays, but I think they are ugly.</li> <li>This brings us to plastic 2x2s. They are more compact than slabs, look good, don&#039;t have staples to snag or scratch, and allow both sides to be seen easily. And they are protective.</li> </ul><p>I have merged together all the ideas. I see there are trays (and also pages that fit into 3-ring binders) for both sizes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I give up on strictly ordering the coins by date, I can mix these types of trays or binder pages to at least keep them close to each other. So the 2x2 air-tights are in one tray (say 1909 VDB-1920), and under that is a tray with slabbed 1909, 1921, 1923, 1928, and 1929-D, then another tray with more 2x2&#039;s.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]536340[/ATTACH]</p><p>I also think I&#039;ll break out the MS64&#039;s, at least, and probably the two ANACS holders (their small size doesn&#039;t fit anywhere!!).</p><p><br /></p><p>And anything that I would not send to be graded in the first place, because of low value or a low price jump between grades - well, I may as well break those out too. Now, where&#039;s my hammer?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
