Actually Conder, I like the idea of felt lined drawers. I've seen those, with spots for individual coins.
Very classy, especially with old copper :-)

I like the second one actually. I like solid wood doors as opposed to the glass.
Is this delivered from the UK?

I like the idea of felt lined drawers as well. Maybe some day that will be something I can utilize.

My guess is those are delivery in the UK. It used to be he wouldn't ship outside the UK but he does now. He wants buyers outside the UK the contact him for a shipping quote.

I use the cotton lined 2X2 envelopes. I guess I'm old school. What I would really like to do is store them in a coin cabinet in felt lined trays. Like I said I'm old school. Always wanted one of those... |

If I ever found myself with the income to build a proper early copper collection, I most certainly would forgo a Dansco album and get one of these cabinets. |

Out of well over 100 Albums, most are Whitman. Most are in Zip Lock Plastic bags. NONE in many, many years show any signs of corrosion, staining, tarnishing, etc. All look the way they were when I put them in. Should still be the same in a hundred or so years but if not, I'll let you know.

2x2 envelopes all the way. A great protection method as well a place to record information .  |

I'm with you Ambro51, I've used them for years and as you stated good way to record info about the coin.

Looks like a manual typewriter. Notice the smooshed letter you in full and the slight variation in the alignment?

Yes that's my 30s era Royal Portable. It got me through college (70s) and has written a book. The trick is feeding the envelope in you tape down the bottom to hold it in place. You know most of the delight with very old copper is holding it in your hand. Plus, the visibility is Sooo much improved.

I have never used cotton lined envelopes. Where do you get them? Are the safe/of archival quality?
