<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 147619, member: 2761&quot;]I have spent years buying and upgrading my cent collection.&nbsp; I have a lot of MS <span style="color: Red"><b>reds</b></span> in my Lincoln collection and I want to keep them that way.&nbsp; So, I really can&#039;t afford NOT to!</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW...you know how many coins I have seen in folders that went in MS condition only to develop a HUGE thumbprint later?&nbsp; Talk about a way to &quot;kill&quot; a coin&#039;s grade!&nbsp; It can make a collector cry!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure we all started with the folders and I too went to the Dansco albums.&nbsp; But I never did care for the sliding window and the fact that many coins sometime popped out of their slot, so I went to 2X2&#039;s that I individually labeled with the year/mm/mintage numbers so these coins could be individually viewed from a 3 ring binder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I looked at the technology behind the Intercept Sheilds, so I updated my collection all before 1944 to Intercept Sheilds with avery labels (on the outside) detailing the year/mm on one line in #12 arial font and the mintage numbers on line two with #8 arial font...neatly centered.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.mjcoins.com/coin_holder_small.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I keep them in an acid-free clam shell binder secured high and dry.&nbsp; Room temperatures and low humidity are also the key!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the cover page for my Lincoln 3 ring binder book...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
