Some good airtight "slab" holders for 8-reales

    I just bought a couple night 8-reale coins and a half dollar size medal. The coins are raw, and I usually buy slabbed coins...so I am kind of in the dark with what holders are good to get for something like this. I want to get something that will protect the coin as best as possible and ideally preserve color as best as possible. I don't really have a budget.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions (and links if possible)
    I appreciate it guys! Thanks

    No holder, not even the sonically sealed TPG slabs are air tight. Your best bet would be a typical direct fit or ring type air-tite holder. The "slab" holders aren't all that effective IMO>

    I think I was just using "air tight" as a general term. Like I said, this is a new area for me.
    I guess the basic question is what is the best way to store a loose coin? (for protection, and viewing)
    Thanks!

    2x2's and flips are good for short term storage, or lesser value coins. If you plan to have a coin in your collection for a long time, or it is higher value, air-tite holders would be better.

    The Lighhouse coin products are fine. The capsules are priced very reasonably and you can usually buy them in bulk. Just make sure the size is correct. That tray however, is pretty expensive, the cheapest I have seen $22 each.

    hey those quadrum holders are pretty nice and only 50 cents each.
