<p>[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 1155722, member: 5629"]You really will not find an "air tight" holder. The closest you will get to "air tight" are sealed hard plastic slabs (sonic sealed or otherwise). A number of brands sell the hinged hard plastic 2x2 holders, but, as you stated, there are a number of problems with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally use mylar 2x2 (and 2.5x2.5) plastic flips. Using an impulse sealer on them, you are able to make them semi-air-tight. You have the added option of sealing an insert in the opposite side of the insert (making it more of a 4x2) to put information on it, which could subsequently be folded over. Wizard Coin sells the Saflip (Kointainer) brand for a little over $5 for 50 of them (excluding shipping). I do not have any real preference for brand on mylar flips. Saflip is a more expensive one, but absolutely safe. Any brand that is mylar does well.</p><p><br /></p><p>My preferred method is snap-together hard plastic 2x3 slab holders. We wholesale the Miller Hobby brand, and that's the brand I personally use. I like how they stack easily for storage and have plenty of room to place information about the coin. They are a bit more "bulky" than hard plastic 2x2, but not by so much that it matters much to me. They are definitely more "bulky" than Saflips, but you have the advantage of the hard plastic giving your coins added protection.</p><p><br /></p><p>If space is an issue, I would recommend 2-pocket mylar Saflip holders. If maximizing the safety of your coins is an issue, I would suggest MIller Hobby (or Collector Safe) 2x3 slab holders. There is another brand of 2x3 slab holders by BCW, but I have not personally used them, and the ones I have seen have the BCW logo on them, much like the Coin World slab holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
