<p>[QUOTE="ajm229, post: 67091, member: 3350"]2x2's are a good storage solution for coins that stand by themselves. For instance, if you have only one Barber Quarter or one Mercury dime, storing it in a cardboard 2x2 is a good option until you get more of them. For a big set like you are going to have soon, I would recommend getting a couple of the Whitman Jefferson nickel folders. They're like cheap albums that have a slot for each year and mintmark that the Jeff's were made.
