[QUOTE="PyrotekNX, post: 105505, member: 3918"]I have seen those before and I have been wondering what they were called (coinsafes). They seem like very high quality products. I would consider them if I was putting a high quality set together. Coinsafes are too expensive to be used for every coin in a collection. A pack of 100 coinsafes cost about $23 for a pack of 100. If you want to mount them in a binder, it will cost you an additional $3.50 each for their 9 pocket pages. Coinsafes are a direct fit holder which means they are designed to only fit a specific coin. They aren't sold individually on their website. If you only need one of a certain size, you are stuck buying more than you need. I would recommend coinflips like saflips for bulk storage. They are affordable and much safer than cardboard 2x2s and they can be inserted into regular binder pages. They are great for coins that don't necessarily need to be displayed but need to be protected. Sometimes you are better off getting a coin album. There are a wide range of them and some companies have customizable albums so you can mix and match the album pages. 3 ring binders can damage coins if you arent careful, the pages tend to pop out and coins can get scratched by the metal rings. The pages also have a tendency to rub against one another and the pages tear easily. If you were planning on going with a binder, find one that zippers. They tend to be higher quality and offer more protection than a traditional 3 ring binder.[/QUOTE]
