Traditionally, in the UK at least, people have used small acid-free paper disks commonly called 'tickets'

You can buy then in a variety of sizes and colours and they are round, like your capsules.

Coins usually sit in a recess in a wooden tray on a felt roundel. The ticket goes under the felt with whatever details about the coin you want to write on it.

Tickets written by the dealer AH Baldwin in the 1960s:

Tha aluminium case contains trays for quadran capsules.

I cut the holes for the coins so that they are not central, I leave a bit of space at the bottom for the label.

Thanks chrsmat it is the year and the next number in the series. Attribution is kept on a spreadsheet and is also printed out and kept as a label in a 2x2 flip in an index box. I am just changing the system over, so there are still some labels under the quadrums which will go into the index box when I get home.

I have the same square capsules as pish has. I always print a label under it with full attribition. Quadrum is more expensive and sometimes the coims dont fit because the are too thick

The case is aluminium, the trays are plastic covered with a velvety stuff. They have different compartments depending on what size you want.

You are in the US, I can only give you my link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lighthous...m9c11d05b12.

You need to research what is available on your side of the pond. The best quality stuff seems to be German made.
