Show us you coin display or cabinet!!

[Nutriasub]

I have been surfing the web to find a way of displaying and storing my best coins and relics, have seen some home made cabinets and very expensive antique cabinets.
I would love to see everyone's ideas on this matter, thank- you all for the help!
I don't know if this is the right forum...

Keepy, I'm worried about you will scracht all those silver and gold coins!

I found these two pics for cabinets. The first one is made based on a paper storage unit ( if anyone can give me the right translation of the cabinet it would be great)

The second one is totally home made, it looks great, but only for a huge collection!

Here's how I store/display my collections: Blue-print cabinets. They're getting cheap to find "used" (craigslist, ebay, etc....), because nowadays contractors and architects are doing all their blueprints on computers, floppy disks, etc.... So it's fairly easy to find these cabinets on the used market. They're perfect shallow-dish drawers for most of the type stuff us md'rs find.

Here's a few examples of them I gleaned from google images:

If you are looking for a classic look out for a Printers cabinet, or you can pick up just the individual drawers as well. They are great for artifacts because they have different sized compartments.

Thanks for the input!
The flat file cabinet are a little long, don't you think? It would take up a lot of space.
I like the printers drawers, a little price though.
Thanks a lot, this is what's about, everybody will learn!

Wat do you guys think about this one?
Its only12 drawers, might be a little small. Each drawer can hold about 50 big size coins ( half dollars), or more if they are smaller.

My wife gave me a glass top coffee table a few years ago for my birthday. She had it custom built for our living room. The felt lined compartment is about 3-4 inches deep which allows me to display coins and most relics. The maker rounded the corners since we have three small children and made it the proper length to match our sofas and chairs. I absolutely love it since I can rotate my collection through it and they are not in closed drawers. I see my finds everytime I pass through the room. It is also a great conversation piece when we have people over.

If I can find the name of the maker I will share it.

Good luck with your search.

If you want something fairly inexpensive and compact for coins, Lindner trays aren't bad.

I have found this drawer system, I think it's good size for the coin, about 2 inches deep inside the drawers. And also it's somewhat cheap 75€ (80$).
I have the trays to put inside.
What do you guys think?

My wife let me buy a standing jewelry box, it's big and has compartments. Works great, I'll try to find a pic. It was like 250.00 but well worth it.

I'm using Lindner boxes for coins and bigger findings. They are very practical and can also be stacked up.
