<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 6281061, member: 19250&quot;]Years ago I wanted a solution to my Jefferson nickels collection as since 1938 and god only knows when the series will end...thats a lot of coins and mint marks.</p><p>I wasn&#039;t fond of Dansco or any other album type holders or storage.</p><p>I&nbsp; came up with this ...kointains are one of the oldest coin capsuls on the market.</p><p>They were made to be used by museum to disply coins ,as well preserve.</p><p>They are 100 % safe to use and are very thin....there is a top and bottom like airtights they fit together and house the coin.&nbsp; They actually make holding a coin feel like just that very natural than as compared to the airtight&nbsp; like holding a round plastic disk.</p><p>Next the coin in the kointain went into a mylar 2x2 flip with the white tag in one side as a bacground to show the coin better plus adding text ,such as mintages date mint mark variety etc. Then incerted in&nbsp; a plastic page that held 25 coins in 2x2 flips.</p><p>Placed in a binder that was safe from harmful chemicals.</p><p>I will admit that to each their own...as in all the years of collecting coins I have yet to find&nbsp; a system that completely satisfied my likes or needs.</p><p>Display and storage arectwo different things in my mind. </p><p>What makes a coin look good in a display sometimes makes it hard to store.</p><p>That seems to be a challange to most collectors&nbsp; as your collection grows!</p><p>Good storage solutions are mostly bad disply choices.</p><p>Back in the day very ornate wood display cabnets were in vogue....but wood gassing out, stains and glues caused issues on the coins.</p><p>Again....its a very complex issue trying to obtain the best of both worlds ,being able to enjoy your collection and keep it well protected and in some sort of order to enjoy it.</p><p>I suggest that you explore all options....and decide to your liking what works best for your collection.</p><p>Good luck and keep us posted on your choice or discovery that works best for you.
