[QUOTE="mmissinglink, post: 1833554, member: 47293"]Hi, I consider myself a new coin enthusiast (purchased my first coin, a Franklin half dollar for the purpose of starting a collection of modern US silver coins about a year ago). Since then, I have picked up a few common date Peace, Morgan, and Eisenhower dollars as well as some 40 and 90% Kennedy halves. I want to give as gifts to a couple of young family members (in the hopes of sparking collector enthusiasm in them), some of these coins, but present each of them in a slab-like holder so that I can include a large enough label to be able to fully identify the coins. The coins are in round plastic capsules at the moment (perhaps Air-tites) but I have come across these holders shopping on line: [url]http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/coin-slabs/display-slab-with-foam-inserts-combo.htm[/url] Does anyone have personal experience with the long term use of these slabs? How might you rate them in terms of safety and protection against toning and corrosion based on their description, if you have not purchased these? I also like the fact that this company makes a variety of inserts for these slabs.[/QUOTE]
