I was wondering how often the Sovereign/Half Sovereign would have used/seen in daily life in the early 1900s. Was it a normal occurrence to have one in your pocket, or was it reserved mainly for larger purchases?

Unsure of how to display collection.

I have a growing collection and I'm generally unsure how to move forward regarding storage. I currently store my coins in acid free paper envelopes contained with a coin box. The only real issue with this method is that whenever I want to view a particular coin I have to remove it from the envelope. I have looked at poly flips (plasticizer free etc), but I have read, and been told that they aren't ideal for long term storage of base metal coins. My only real option left is a tray with the coin sitting on a ticket. My only concern with the tray option is the possibility of cabinet friction. Has anybody also had any issues regarding using printed labels on acid free paper, I contacted the manufacturer of my print cartridges to see if the ink/toner was acid free and they were clueless. Would it be sensible to sit the coin on a printed label? Any help would be appreciated. -

That's a nice setup, Sword. I actually just picked up a Quickslab capsule to see what they are like. Thanks for your help. -

I was looking at the Abafil Minor case they offer. In terms of movement it would only be going from a shelf to a desk and back. -

I was looking to hopefully purchase/use an Afabil case/tray. Many thanks for your help. -

Thanks Nonmortuus. I had looked at the capsules but like you said they aren't that cheap. I agree though would make it easier regarding the handling of the coins. Thanks for your input. -
I'm new to the world of coins and I was wondering what the general feeling was regarding Quadrum capsules. I know it may be personal choice, but at what grade should a capsule be used to store a coin? Is it grade or cost of the piece that dictates how the coin should be stored? Any help would be great.
