What a great display of what appears to be your entire coin
collection in a single picture. I have to commend you for the display concept (who else dares to show their entire
collection in a single display case), its realisation and the
choice and
quality of coins. If you could only arrange for a high resolution photo it would make a great 100%
scale poster. I only wonder at the
security implications. I cant imagine displaying such nice coins at
home.
Marcus Lepidus I just noticed your old post about ziplock bags. Wouldn't they be made of or include
PVC?
Regarding paper envelopes I understand they are considered
good for long term storage though rarely used nowadays. And you can write on them too. I wouldn't be concerned about abrasion because the coins lie
still even when moving boxes around. Far more dangerous are the felt inserts used in wooden cabinets which can be very abrasive, as each time you pull out a tray the coins shift. Putting your paper tickets under coins in any tray system can also degrade them, again remembering that coins shift each time you move a tray, unlike envelope or
flip systems. Archival storage in trays therefore usually includes a clear non-pvc separator between coin and ticket.
This is a very old
thread dating to 2005 but with some great
collection photos and advice.
