It is obvious that collectors of ancient coins do not use slabs.

Old Dental Office Cabinets.
I know you see plastic bags but they come that way from auctions and I don't keep any coins very long.

I want to see that 6,000 coin box when its finished Albert.

Cool thread so far, I too am a 2x2 guy and then keep a spreadsheet to inventory each folder. My collection isn't as big as some here (lots of modern coins but I am not so interested inn them any more) but this is a basic over view...

Each coin secured in a standard clear PVC free flip with attribution information written on standard acid-free flip card - flips secured in a standard clear PVC free flip page - left hand information page lines up with each row of coins and contains detailed RIC and associated historical information. Heavy duty, inert plastic covered, zip-up three ring binder with brass reinforced spine and corners.

Smart looking setup, jamesicus, but be careful of that leatherette. Here's what that stuff is made of:

If you can smell it, it's likely your coins are getting gas.

Thank you for that reply, lrbguy. That was a bad choice of words in my description. It is not leatherette but rather an inert plastic (subsequently edited to reflect this). I am a bookbinder so I am used to testing board covering materials etc. for correct PH and injurious fume/gas emanations (including the sniff test). My coins have been stored in the folder I depict for twenty plus years now with no evidence of damage. I did just "sniff test" it -- no odor detected!

Of course I do like to carry some of my "key coins" in a "man purse" (at 88 years of age that is a somewhat unfamiliar term to me!) to brag about at coin shows -- or to just fondle and admire during reflective moments. In order to do that I remove the flips from the folder and put them in cut-down strips (accommodates four coins) from a standard three-ring binder sheet. -- a couple of these folded fit neatly in my "man purse" and add only a little weight.

Wow, Finn...you're like the Oscar Madison of coin collecting. Based on your organized and informative threads, though, there must be some system at work - a method to your madness.

I must be old-fashioned, I use the little Kraft paper envelopes. I write out the attribution on the front first and then the coin goes in loose. These envelopes are in turn stored in binder sheets. Some of my medieval stuff is still in 2x2's but I plan to move it to envelopes. If I bought a coin and it already had a paper envelope I leave that intact. (Why fix what ain't broke.)

2x2 archival flips in plastic stackable coin boxes. I like the Lighthouse case Bob L has better though. I have a coin tableau and might get more
