Definición

• Ribbon Lift.  A simple ribbon attached to the bottom of a well in a case made for coins or medals. The ribbon is attached to the case and has a short length extending beyond the well. When a coin or medal is placed in the snug-fitting well the ribbon extends beyond it. By pulling up the ribbon lifts the piece from the well.
  Some oriental cases have been observed where the ribbon lift has not been fastened to the case at the bottom of the well. Instead the ribbon lies loose, somewhat longer than the width of the well, extending beyond the object on both sides. To lift the item both ends must be grasped and pulled up simultaneously.
