RedShoesGirl Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) i saw on one website, can't remember which one, a little wooden thingy that held coins on display. it looked quite nice and elegant and i figure better to have them out to see and enjoy than stuck in a drawer. does that stand sound familiar to anyone? and what do you do with all those plastic sleeves the coins come in? keep in case you trade? and should i take my new collection of less than 20 coins with me to the coin event at GW6? in slide sheets? i do have a gazillion of those now that i am working mostly in digital. i even have a challenge coin given to me quite sometime ago by an army officer i was interviewing. lara Edited April 23, 2008 by RedShoesGirl Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 If you hit eBay or even Google "wood(en) coin racks" you should see a bunch. I think even a few coin vendors sell them now. I have some at home that a friend made out of Redwood Burl - beautiful. As for bringing them to GW6 - sure if you want to share them feel free! Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) It just wood not work for mine though. I have 4 binders and use baseball collecter cards inserts for the coin pockets on mine. I then use packing tape to seal the end so the coins do not slide out or dissapear by accident. There is a thread back there somewhere with images of what several of us use here but can not remember the name of that topic. Edited April 23, 2008 by GEO*Trailblazer 1 Quote Link to comment

+Mama Cache Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 HWS has the racks and The caching place has a really fantastic coin book. I have all my Hogwild coins in a Caching Place coin book. They should pay me for that. ;-) Quote Link to comment

With 20 coins you can just use a binder and 3 sheets. Tape the ends shut so there's no ... whooopses!! I also print out little tags with the coins' tracking # and tape them to the pockets so they are more visible to be copied down for discovery. As some people use their digital cameras to record tracking #s this last method is particularly useful. If you're hooked start your spreadsheet early. It's easier to organize and arrange with a coupla dozen coins than a coupla hundred. By then you'll have your system humming along. If I was to do it over I would keep track of when the coin was purchased, where, for how much, from whom, traded for with whom and for what along with the tracking #, activation code and reference # if activated. See you at GW.... Edited April 24, 2008 by Droo Quote Link to comment
