<p>[QUOTE="poppa501, post: 1006707, member: 20945"]I personally use the direct fit air-tites for my eagles. No they are not 100% air tight, but they are as close as anything you can buy. Coins will tone quicker in an album than in an air-tite. An air-tite also allows you to handle the coin and see all surfaces including the edges with relative safety. Most will fit in a 2x2 folder page. I keep mine in a 2x2 box. Albums are your next best bet for storage. You have to be careful when installing the plastic slide though. If the coin in not inserted fully in the hole the plastic slide can scratch the high points on the coin. You need to store all your coins in a safe with enough dessicant to keep it dry. Keeping them away from the sun in a cool and dry place is the safest. A 5-10x magnifier is usually enough to do everything you need. </p><p>The food vac. sounds like a good idea also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
