<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 957534, member: 26302&quot;]Lots of option. You can go the traditional folder route and try to fill every hole. Of the folders, the ones that cover the coins are always best of course. Penny boards have probably harmed more coins than protected them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another option is either 2x2&#039;s with the cardboard and plastic, or plastic flips. If using flips make sure you get the brittle plastic ones for longer term storage. The cardboard ones allow you to see both sides of the coin in sheets in an album, but you must destroy the holder to handle the coin. The flips you can only see one side in an album but you can take the coin out if needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>For storage, not display, envelopes and small boxes designed to store them in are a great option. This protects your coin well, but of course you cannot see them unless you take them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Old School&quot; storage was in a cabinet, but the problem is the coin moved when the drawer slid in and out, leading to &quot;cabinet friction&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to a large coin supply website and browse around at all of the possibilities. My favorite is <a href="http://www.brooklyngallery.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.brooklyngallery.com" rel="nofollow">www.brooklyngallery.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I use 2x2 flips to get access to the coins and have more area to write down pertinent information. I mostly collect ancients, though, so handling them is not seen as detrimental as it is with US coins, and I need more room for attributions, weights, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
