<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claycad, post: 1153635, member: 17987&quot;]I&#039;ve searched and found some threads talking about preferences on how to store coins but none that discussed what brand of holders you use.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard a lot of mention of AirTites which seems good, but they are round, I really perfer 2x2s. I bought some whitman brand hard plastic 2x2&#039;s and was disappointed at them. They weren&#039;t air tight, cracked fairly easily, some wouldn&#039;t fit together right and the plastic windows often had imperfections in them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m currently using a brand called supersafe coinholders. They are cardboard with mylar plastic, but instead of staples they are self adhesive. But I&#039;ve had them for a couple of years now and after looking at my coin collection for the first time in a while I noticed that a few of them are coming apart because the adhesive isn&#039;t holding up and some are also yellowing around the edges of the cardboard...even though the holder uses inert mylar I&#039;m starting to think the adhesive it uses may not be so inert and that is what is causing the yellowing. It hasn&#039;t effected my coins since they don&#039;t touch the adhesive, but I&#039;m worried it may eventually cause problems</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking about the intercept shied brand holders, but was wondering if anyone has used them. They are a little expensive at about $4 for a 3 pack, but that isn&#039;t nothing if they would hold up for a few lifetimes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any other brand names that you use and consider good please post them. I&#039;m looking for hard plastic 2x2s in particular. Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
