    Snap lock 2x2 display

    Does anyone use the snap lock or air tight 2x2 holders? Do you have them in a display case or a binder? Maybe a box?
    I want to get something for the TOP 100 RPMs. Im putting them in the snap lock 2x2 but want to put them in a binder or some type of case.

    I was thinking of trying these out. Anyone use them before?

    INTERLEAVES MATRIX Not sure if the 2x2 snap lock would fit in the spot

    INTERCEPT BOX Actually like this but doesnt display well, I would have to pull each one out to know what coin it is.

    STACKABLE COIN DRAWERS Favorite so far. Theres a case made for these drawers too

    I'm in the market too, but I haven't found anything in the way of display cases that I really like so far. It's on my list to build one myself for regular size slabs. Unfortunately, my list is waaaaayyyyyyy long these days.

      Did you ever look at baseball card displays? That would be perfect for full slabs. You can easily make something like this for the wall

        Here was a thread that Will started awhile back. Don't know if there is any useful info you have not ran across yet. (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/foru...-binder-review)

            You've got some really good ideas to choose from. The wall plaque seems nice if you had the wall space for it. The metal case seems like it might offer more protection. How about a combination where you can rotate your collection into the wall display?

              I'm wanting more on the quick look if I want to. I just don't want to pull each coin out of a box to see what it is. I think I'm going with the stackable drawers. I dont really need a box to put them in but it looks nice. They have boxes that fit 5 drawers and some fit like 10. Ill go for the 5 for now

                  Got some BCW snaplock 2x2s today. Not impressed at all. I got them because one side of the foam is white and you can write on it. Its not the best quality. Get what you pay for I guess. Might look into the lighthouse quadrum intercept 2x2, little pricey though.

                    The intercept 2x2's are a bit pricey (that's why I quit buying them) but the black insert displays a coin well.

                      Have you bought any of the newer lighthouse quadrum intercept ones? They look like they upgraded the foam compared to the older one. Is this one of them,?

                        The ones I have are older , from 15 to 20 years ago. I honestly wasn't aware that they had changed them.

                          Think I might get a 6 pack to see the quality and go from there.

                            Well I went ahead and bought the Lighthouse Quadrum Intercept 2x2s and a box. Amazing!! No other 2x2 can compare to these. Worth the extra money. I then used a word template for Avery address labels 1/2 x 1-3/4 to type out the RPM. Then I cut each on in half and then go right on the edge of the 2x2 real nice. I have to print another 25S RPM-3 because I typed 35 on accident and its gonna bug me till I do. The Intercept box comes with 2 foam inserts dividers. I happen to have the same 1/4 high density foam and cut some more inserts for myself.

                              I really like your labeling to easily reference your varieties.
