Message:: [QUOTE="mightymatt490, post: 1006648, member: 27480"]Hi all, I  recently just got into coin collecting, partially to hedge and  partially because I've always been into coins.  I bought a gold american  eagle and a few silver american eagle coins from APMEX. Looking at their coin supplies <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/go/_to.asp?target=http://www.apmex.com/Category/509/Coin_Supplies.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/go/_to.asp?target=http://www.apmex.com/Category/509/Coin_Supplies.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.apmex.com/Category/509/C...upplies.aspx</a>  I'm a bit overwhelmed on storage options.  It seems the "flips" would  be good for the silver american eagles, but what should I do with my  gold american eagle?  If I'm only planning on having a few of those per  year (I will probably buy one per quarter), would it be better to store  them in individual mint cases?  What about the air tight containers?   Some research I've read shows that the non-plastic flips are the best  for long term storage, but then they say they don't recommend them for  proof coins... Also, what's a good scale and good magnifying glass to get? Thanks, Matt[/QUOTE]
