Coin storage ideas

Hey everyone,
I like storing sets in folders, but coins such as peace dollars, walkers, Franklin halves, etc. that I only have 1 or 2 of each I am currently storing in a piece of PVC free plastic. I am looking for a better way to store these coins that is more aesthetically pleasing, and gives me the option of alternately displaying them and tucking them away, all input and ideas are appreciated

Air-Tites maybe. I liked them for my U.S. coins. They can be had for about 65¢ from their website but shipping isn't cheap so make sure you're buying a bunch. You could also shop at other coin supply shops and get some other things like books to help make the shipping worth it.

 

One possibility is to put them in PVC-free flips and get plastic pocket pages that accept the flips.
The second pocket in the flips will allow you to put labels with each item.
That and an appropriate binder will work.
And will make it easy to rearrange the collection.

 

Maybe a "coin stock book" would work for you... one that has some holes for all 6 denominations.

 

Oh there are now Air-Title binder pages and you could make your own album.

 

Check out this site. It may have something you like.

Anything appropriate for display is going to be difficult to present, understanding the container will be of a different size for each issue. I'm personally a fan of CoinEdge holders because they're airtight and allow you to see the rim.

 

Nice site. Made a purchase based n your link. Thanks

 

Thanks guys! All great ideas, I have tomorrow off so I'll check out all these options and see what I prefer most

 

Here's a similar discussion going on in the ancients forum right now: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/no-better-way-to-spend-a-saturday-evening.284584/unread

You might find this valuable since ancients sometimes classify better by type than by series/date/mint.

 

So far this site is the most reasonable I've found to date: http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/coin-collecting-supplies/
...let's face it, there's a reason they call it the hobby of Kings...ain't nothin' cheap about it LOL

 

This is only my preference. I personally like the 2 x 2 flap's non-PVC, I personally have a three ring binder. With a clear non-PVC flap holders. Since I'm constantly going through coins I find the three ring binder is the most convenient way to keep track of what I have, and to add new ones as I come across them this particular binder is a zip up binder. Like everyone said nothing is cheap nowadays. And I find these binders and flap holders extremely useful for airtight holders. But they have a tendency to come out a little easy from the holders but I fixed that with a little piece of scotch tape. Even that's not cheap nowadays. LOL This is just one of my binders.
