I have a lot to say about the storage of coins. If you own a store, you should try to make all the coins look like they cost a lot of money to buy, but if you are a private collector and do not plan to sell your collection, Then you can choose, maybe I think some coin trays are more suitable, you can also use coin cabinets, but coin cabinets have a problem, that is, it is very large and very heavy, if you move, this is very troublesome, and it is not easy to tidy up, Some collectors use paper card books, but I think this method will cause the coin surface to appear sticky, it will be a green crystal and grease state, very bad, this situation is called PVC pollution, it seems to come from the PVC plastic softener in plastic, However, it seems that books without plastic softeners will crack easily in winter. My hometown is cold in winter, so it is very easy to crack, so now I like to use drawer-style trays and some small round protective boxes. Very cute little things, because this is completely transparent, so while using the protective box, you can also put the protective box into a tray of 12 pieces or 24 pieces, looks very neat and beautiful, you can also use that transparent glass cabinet, And it comes with a plastic shelf, but the same problem, this requires space, and it is very troublesome to organize, some coins I use paper bags made of cowhide to store, and use pencil to write some simple introduction and my own seal, ancient Chinese copper coins, I sometimes put them on a string to store or pile them in plates and bowls. It sounds ridiculous, but it's not a joke. I will put these copper coins in a plate, maybe high-end can be placed in the lighthouse or Linde, even if the conditions are better, It can be placed in the box of Abafil, which is really beautiful. I personally like the lining of red velvet and green velvet very much. The quality of the solid wood box is also very good. I will continue to update my views on coin storage. You can give me feedback and good suggestions. I express my respect to you.   |

Looking good!  Storage choices are both personal and practical. Our coins' home should be pleasing, safe, and convenient.  Most of my collection resides in Dansco albums, which have satisfied those requirements over the past 40+ years I have used them. I also have many things in the original government packaging (OGP), as well as a second set of Eisenhower dollars in PCGS slabs. |

It's a shame Americans tend to dismiss trays and cabinets. I'm a big fan of Abafils.
I still use EAC (Early American Coppers club) storage techniques: coin into a 2" cotton liner, into a 2" envelope, into a 2.5" mylar flip. The flip allows storage of old envelops, auction tickets, & documentation that preserves the coin's history & pedigree.
Like many EACers, Europeans, & medieval collectors, I have no interest in entombing a coin in a plastic slab. With the exception of high-end modern coins & proofs, they seem to serve as little more than marketing gimmicks (though it certainly works out well for enriching the likes of Dave Hall and those selling the stuff!). I don't know the point of slabbing an ED VF daalder, other than slabbing seems to add some perceived value to many buyers despite no change or enhancement to the underlying coin itself.
I assume your pictures are of your store. I would be afraid to openly display anything perceived as valuable, small, and easy to steal in my home.

That is quite a display you have. I have never heard of Linde before though. a quick search brings up strange stuff related to pain and German chemicals  |

Like Lighthouse, they make lower-end mass-produced trays, and lots of plastic stuff. I've seen both advertised in coin mags. |

Yes, you are right, safety is very important, my store has several surveillance cameras. And there are long-term security patrols, the security is the security of our whole market, and my store is in the city center, the security is very good, as for my home, my home is near our local police station, so it is also relatively safe, but I will not put high-value items at home. |
