<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ArtDeco, post: 7321118, member: 119259&quot;]So I&#039;m a beginner collector, I have purchased a few ancient greek and roman coins so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>I get that many ancient collectors prefer to touch and handle the coins by hand and store them in case trays or pvc free coin flips but the first thing that comes to mind when I look at my own coins is how to propery store them so they &quot;stay fresh&quot; and do not oxidize too quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I figure that by slabbing these coins (whilst not completely airtight) the plastic cases would slow the oxidation process far longer than keeping them in plastic coin flips. I also don&#039;t like the idea of handling my coins by hand becuase it seems that there will be more metal loss down the road especially with the acidic oils in our fingers. The slabs would display the coin in a decent way and prevent you from actually handling your coins by hand so there should be more protection that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wouldn&#039;t these reasons justify slabbing your ancient coins?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Now</i>,</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were to store my coins in PVC-Free coin flips, what would be the best method to store them which would slow the oxidation process?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
