capsules or 2by2s

Ok simple enough topic to use capsules or 2by2s. I think capsules give a coin a better display look yet storing them is a bit difficult where as 2by2s or easier to store. Any thoughts on this subject?

I have never used them but I think capsules are cool. The problem is you need a good fit otherwise the coin will move about inside them which is not good. When I come across capsules I normaly give them away.

lining them with foam rubber helps

See what I am trying to do is figure a way to display some of my choice coins that is appealing to the eye. 2by2s are less eye appealing I think whereas a capsule on a stand with a mirror behind it and the right light is awe inspiring (why should I have old beautiful coins that I can not enjoy without the hassle of digging them out). So many coins are beautifully artistic - it's like owning a great work of art. As I am currently getting ready for my day I do not have the time, but tonight I will post a couple pics of what I mean as to art.

The capsules with the foam work great and look great in my opinion.  They are tricky to store though.  And I'm paranoid about having my coins displayed out in the open.  I'd rather other people in my home don't know I have them unless I show them off specifically.

I certainly agree they do look better. I look forward to seeing the pics. Are you thinking of using a coin cabinet?

I have also seen somewhere little perspex mounts for displaying individual coins - they looked cool and they were not too expensive either.

Watch the foam some gave off chemicals that may be bad for coins

I prefer the 2x2 flips for my coins because it's easier to store.  I use the non plasticised vinyl ones from base metal coins and the self adhesive cardboard ones for my silver.
