I was never quite happy with storing my large and heavy new styles directly into felt lined trays. Some needed a
bit of persuasion too. After a time the trays became bent and damaged with approx 300 g of unruly silvers
per tray.
So I embarked on finding a solution and the 2 x 2 inch Quadrum capsule system seemed to be perfect. Sadly no.
This lovely looking solution is only meant for modern rather thin regular coins not unruly thick ancients. I did ask the manufacturers if they aren't missing a market but deigned to ignore my enquiries.
The storage carrying cases for the Quadrum capsules though are nice.
Then I won a coin from
Roma Numismatics and my coin arrived in stylish 3 D
style display capsule.
I looked on the bay for the
Roma solution which was externally the same size as the Quadrum capsules but can take the thickness of the ancients. I couldn't find any!
Roma kindly supplied me with their specially made 3 D coin holders and this is the solution and it looks great. Some of my large
flan New Styles only just fit in but just is
good enough.
The Quadrum carry case can normally take 90 2X2's but due to the extra thickness of the 3 D displays I am restricted to 4 trays- 60 coins-just enough with another 4 poked down the sides-enough for my
New style collection and my few others.
I am rather pleased with it and can't wait to get the rest of my
collection from safe storage to fill the case, but these 3 examples will show how
good they look.
I am well pleased.
