Arranging my collection

[Fulvio]

...trying to buy locally from dealers here in Oz

Maybe its time we start thinking about 3D printers and making our own storage systems?

[Mister T]

Yeah I realise it's a not a lot but die cracks/cuds/weak strikes/etc aren't really my cup of tea so I don't seek them out.

I would suspect that enworb has a bit more than that in his collect

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knockin' it (error hunting), just trying to get my head around error free coins at this stage. :hi: Having said that, no harm in keeping an eye out, right? :ok:

[robbiegal]

yeah

get to know what a good coin is first

errors come when you can then tell the difference

it all comes down to your on-going experience with handling the coins

called Purple Penny
those guys are paving the way for Australian Products
I have said for years that they are the future Rennicks & Downies for Australia

Thanks heaps for the info robbie and PP and I might just get a couple with my next order to see what they're like..they sound pretty full on having to close them with pliers :good:

[robbiegal]

nah
they click closed but if the ridges are out of wack then you squeeze them down flatter a tad with small pliers - just make the ridges click in together
i'll post you some pics

Eagle Mounts 101 (moved from the other thread about cardboard holders)
here goes

Question re the Eagle Mounts:   Does the plastic covering and case effect the coins at all?

Can PPH supply the Eagle Mounts as well as the plastic pages to store the coins in as well as outer folders and slip cases?

Finally, is the Eagle Mount/Page system better than the saflaps or whatever?

here's the PP blog about the eagle mounts
http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2008/10/eagle-coin-holders.html
we get ours from the USA - direct from the sellers - not sure if this link is the guys, I think it is

overall, I prefer the flip - no staples, no fiddling with myler inserts and clipping eagle mounts that pop open and the coin slides in them as well.
I started with eagle mount many years ago and I like the way they show case my favourite coins - so it's personal choice

I put my eagle mount pages into a couple of PP albums - they didn't come from the PP shoppie

hope that helps

so they're good but we still need a better system, so coins move and only come in 2 sizes..I've really got to have a think about this and see what I can come up with :mr47_05:

aving said that, no harm in keeping an eye out, right? :ok:

No, of course not. I've got a few rabbit ears $1 coins but I just don't put them in my album.

Regardless of how that 51 florin is displayed it is AWSOME  
Stunning coin RG :drooling:

Absolutely. A coin like this deserves the best home it can get.

But you can't go spending a dollar or two to store something that's worth a dollar. That would be super-silly. Like slabbing well-worn common coins. Its just not done.

So we need a tiered approach. Cheap or free storage at the bottom end, moving up to more expensive solutions as the value of the coins justifies it. We will never ever see a cheap high-end product, because prices are not determined by production cost, but rather perceived value to the client.

Just finished. Decided to go with denomination and then year within that and then error within year. Thanks for the opinions.
