Message:: [QUOTE="Midas, post: 51000, member: 2761"]I use 2x2 mylar window cardboards housed in these: <img src="http://store1.yimg.com/I/archivalusa_1840_4897889" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> They are acid-free clamshell photo album 3 ring binders.  That way, all areas of the album are at least covered from dust and other outside "floating" particles.  It is not air-tight, but better than standard 3 ring binder. As for the 2x2's, I print up Avery Labels (80 per page) with the year, mint mark, and designation on line one in #12 arial bold font.  On the second line, I include the mintage numbers in #8 arial normal font...all neatly centered on the label!  (Use Microsooft WORD...it is easy)  For key dates, I highlight the year, mint mark and designation in yellow! For the reverse, I may print up avery labels with notations like cost paid, inventory number, grade, etc., that may be important to the given coin.  I do tht often, but it is an option It helps protect and present your coins like a pro! Remember to always crimp down your staples with pliers if you do not use a self-crimping stapler.  This actually squeezes your coin between the mylar window nice and tight! Keep them dry and at room temperatures and they will last![/QUOTE]
