@Russell12 . You will have to show me your financial statement for me to determine between "crazy" and "eclectic". Very nice coins though. I am firmly in the "crazy" camp myself but striving towards eclectic . James

I keep my better coins in Lighthouse wood boxes in trays designed for slabs. More fun to organize, view and share. They do take up a lot if space and can require a large safe or two.
These trays stack inside the case. They may not hold as much as the case you showed, but the coins are immediately visible and a lot more satisfying. The briefcase-sized cases also have trays designed for slabs, but I only had a photo of the tray for 2x2’s.

Nice MS-68 CSA restrike!
Thanks, I am now looking for a civil war token to add to my set, PCGS AU50 or better.
That's a nice McKinley. Many of them have "bubbles" around the lettering.

HAHA
Trueviews of blank planchets are hilarious to me.
Come to think of it, you're right!
Some modern stuff . . .
I wish there was a better way to store and show my slabs
There's not a lot of options on the market for how to show off that many slabs. Many of us end up making our own display stands.
On the bright side, at least you're rooting for the right baseball team....

The only option I could think of is the thin crystal clear showcase and hang it on the wall. With that many slabs you would need several.
A few new pickups for my type set . . .
Cool
The obverse or reverse? 🤔😂
Just picked up from a local coin show, the trueview is darker than the actual coin (which I hate)
I lighten the picture, what do you think?
Tougher date to find nice too... lovely piece!

I like what I see, some nice examples, but am admittedly on edge waiting to see the bust quarter.

No Bust quarter yet . . .
Cool collection and enjoyable posts.
I love that 'attache' type case. Where'd that come from?

You have quite the eye for quality. Very attractive coins you have posted.
Perchance do you have any interest if Proof Coins?
Some of them are very attractive, for example:
Amazon, but I just looked, not available anymore
No proof coins, my type set is of business strikes
You don't know the right people. You're in the right place. We care!
Outstanding set! 👍
You can try Wizard Coin Supply, they have a lot of options. Aluminum and Black Diamond Embossed Slab Box - 100 Slabs
I specifically wanted one without "slab slots"
thanks @Ronsanderson

I would have bought one of those cases for $32 but they are out of stock
