<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1411422, member: 13650&quot;]I keep my Franklin half set and my buffalo nickel set in Intercept Shield albums.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the Franklin album:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum3/IMG_1471.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum3/IMG_1473.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; They&#039;re all mid range mint state or higher.&nbsp; My method of inserting them was by putting cotton gloves on first and only holding the edges until I get it right over the slot.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then I lightly press it down, all the way until the reverse touches the plastic on the back.&nbsp; Then I slide the top plastic cover back over them and it doesn&#039;t touch the obverses at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then you simply don&#039;t slide out the back cover since there&#039;s no reason to anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp; This allows them to be deep enough so the top cover never touches the surface of the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Intercept stuff has special liners designed to clean the air around coins in an average environment for up to 10+ years.&nbsp; The material is inert and will not react with coins.&nbsp; It is specifically made to keep pristine coins from toning.&nbsp;&nbsp; I always tell people that I saw an 1804 dollar (several million dollar coin) stored in an intercept 2x2 under glass at the ANA show.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I keep my loose stuff in their 2x2s, and the 2x2s in their boxes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also use their slab covers and boxes for slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You can read more here.&nbsp; Several companies use their products including NASA.&nbsp; They blow away the competition IMO. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.interceptshield.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.interceptshield.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.interceptshield.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Just thought I&#039;d add....&nbsp; I use air-tites too.&nbsp; The ones with the rings are nice.&nbsp; But I figured since you are going for entire sets and worried about presentation that you&#039;d be looking for albums.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what album if any accepts air-tites, with or without rings.&nbsp; That wouldn&#039;t be a bad way to do it either if you can find a company that makes them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
