Flips Or Trays? Personal Choice?

I'm not familiar with Lindner trays.

Much obliged to you.

I'll stick with my flips

If I had the space I would go with the old fashioned way of the trays. I don't see any reason not too if you are already using the capsules to protect the coins, (similar to Airtites) or if you want natural toning to occur over time.

I don't see it as a real easy or space saving practical way to safe keep them, unless the trays are slid into a safe when you are not around them.

The Linder system is nice and most of us American's aren't as familiar with them, but they do mimic the old school way of collecting in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I'd equate it with the old fashioned coin cabinet furniture, and still available today, only locking cases instead of ornate heavy wood cabinets. Now if the alarm system for the room is a good one, and you don't live in an area that is prone to home break-ins or burglaries then great, but I would always worry about my collection if I was not around it. I have a great safe and some hiding areas but still worry myself. I was once involved as a victim of a burglary while I was not home but my coins were, along with a large amount ($50K) that were not mine, but on consignment. That was a long time ago, 1982, so I'd hate to figure the value in today's dollars. It stopped me for a long time, and I had to work for several years to make clients right. The coins were never found and the burglars never caught. The security aspect of collecting and having valuables around definitely changed my thinking.

That said I do love having all my coins laid out in an orderly fashion where I can easily compare and admire them next to others. The try system is perfect for that. Currently almost every thing I have is locked up in 2x2 mylar holders and stored in boxes in the safe at home, or in the Bank deposit box.
