SRS thats a nice combo there. I really like the table you built. Was there some plans you followed for this or more just shooting from the hip? I would love to make one just like it.

Great looking cabinet. And even nicer since you made it and not just got one from a store. However, this is why I don't like slabbed coins. Take up to much space. If your cabinet could hold 800 slabs, imagine how many 2x2 flips it could hold.

First, thanks! The legs are built from some examples I saw on Pinterest. No plans as the depth of the two legs are determined by the depth of the table top. The stetcher bars are determined by the length of the table. Do a search for trestle table legs on pinterest and you should find some examples of the legs. The top is 3/4" Finished Oak plywood 2' x 4' wrapped in solid oak 1 by 2s. Stained and then poly'd..

If your cabinet could hold 800 slabs, imagine how many 2x2 flips it could hold. This is a trade off I'm willing to go with as I like to have my coins, whether slabbed by a 3rd party grader or slabbed by me. Just my preference. But you're right, the amount of 2x2s you could store in this is amazing....

Very nice! I was thinking the same thing as Prorat when I first saw it. A nice Dewey Decimal card system cabinet!

If you look closely enough I have labels in the label slots and it is organized with largest coin denominations to smallest coin denominations from right to left and top to bottom. The last 6 (bottom) drawers are for extra supplies (2x2s and what not)

Nice cabinet SRS!! How well do the slabs fit in the drawers? As for the cans, I only have one conetop (Kingsbury), but do have the Fitzgerald's flat top.

As for the cans, I only have one conetop (Kingsbury), but do have the Fitzgerald's flat top. First, thanks! Six rows of six coins high. So they'll be stacked. That's 36 coins per drawer. Actually have 220 cone tops. The shelves I built myself. The room is my mini man cave with my beer stuff and my coins....
