Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 1679709, member: 19250"]Greg Here are some shots of my storage system for some of my coins . As per our PM last night I told you about issues I had with hard plastic pages. The weight of the page from the coins will make the hole fail on these harder plastic pages. Yes the way you posted is a nice clean look but will be more costly due to page failure at the ring hole in the binder. After many years I came up with this it's not perfect but I think better than an album and makes for a nice presentation. In a binder  The first picture is how the hole fails with the weight of the coins in the page. Plus the air tights are heavier. I use Kointains.... Kointains have been around since the fifties they are what major Museum's use for their coin storage. Yes they are a little on the yellow tint side but not that much that matters. The Kointains come packed in bags of 100 tops and bottoms. They seal over the coin for a more natural feel in hand. I use the Kointain with a 2x2 flip or 1x1 flip depending on coin size with the incert. The incert you can use to mark the date and other information about the coin I put the coin in the Kointain in the top side of the flip with the incert in the bottom side see pictures.
