<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 7806267, member: 2098&quot;]Since you want to squirrel them away for the kids I would forgo putting them in flips and instead put them into plastic &quot;numismatic&quot; rolls. Be sure to avoid touching their sides with your bare fingers. Then seal the end with tape for long-term storage. Otherwise, you&#039;re spending from $0.04 - $0.06 (or more) a piece on flips that will take up considerably more room and have a much greater propensity for being affected by humidity and otherwise react to their environment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many a beautiful uncirculated cent I&#039;ve seen show a corrosion spot from being stored in a flip in an album and I&#039;m in California which is considerably drier than regions further east.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cents that I&#039;ve kept sealed away in these special rolls for over 15 years have held up quite well in maintaining their original toning and continue to remain free of signs of oxidation. Sure, I don&#039;t look at them too often as it&#039;s a process to take them out and put back but to me it&#039;s worth it keeping them sealed away in plastic rolls. Such rolls can be found at your local coin store or online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
