<p>[QUOTE="Mike Tiry, post: 1968404, member: 71764"]I have been using Kointains since the mid 80's. They are small and really protect the coin from environmental damage. I have had red Lincolns in them for well over 20 years and not one has toned or spotted in all these years. You can even put Kointains in plastic rolls without damaging the coins. All you have to do is used 1c rolls for 10c, 5c rolls for 1c, small dollar rolls for 25c, etc.</p><p>I agree that the can be hard to use at times. I've had difficultly putting coins in them and have bent up a few Kointains in the process but I have never had a problem getting a coin out of a Kointain.</p><p>It is very easy to put Kointains into mylar flips or even inexpensive cardboard mylar holders for display. No PVC contact, NO cardboard fibers on coin and NO hairlines from album slides. Coins inside of Kointains take only slightly more room than a raw coin w/o any protection. Finally Kointains are MUCH else expensive than Air-Tites.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
