    How do you do it? Acid-free paper envelope? Non-PVC flips? Air-tites?

    2x2's for regular stuff. Airtites for the really good pieces.

    2x2 seems to be the consensus. Where do you guys order them cheap?

    I use a wide variety of storage methods.
    Dansco and Whitman Classic albums are my favorites for date/mintmark series collecting.

    I also use staple-type 2x2 cardboard/Mylar holder, but instead of staples, I close the edges with tape.

    I have begun storing my more brilliant single coins in Kointains, which I then put in a self-sealing 2x2.
    I get most of those from Amos Advantage.

    I store those in 20 pocket coin pages, and display them in a three ring binder.

    Most coin hobby supplies aren't terribly expensive.
    As with anything else, you get what you pay for.

    I buy mine at the local shop but if that's not convenient they sell them on ebay.

    Usually in boxes of 100 I believe.

    I can get the 2x2's at Books Amillion but they are a bit pricey there.

    i agree with jody526.

    i also use the kointains in conjunction with the 2x2's i think they are better protected this way.

    Same here



    All my 2x2's go into 3-ring binder pages so my entire collection is easily viewable by friends or family. The good stuff in the air-tites and really good stuff in PCGS slabs stays is various boxes designed for them in the safe.


    I get my supplies here.
