For inert archival coin storage, I use mostly 2x2 holders or 2x2 flips stored in archival 3-ring 2x2 binder pages or in Dansco 2x2 pages.  Some folks here go a step further & use air-tite holders or intercept-shield technology.  Everyone at CT seems to find their own balance between coin holder performance, price, and personal taste.[/QUOTE]
