<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 198060, member: 4552"]I only use the 2x2 flips sold at coin shows around here for duplicate coins only. All others are in Whitman Classic Albums. All albums are placed in a freezer type bag and the air squeezed out as much as possible. I've been doing this for many, many years and not one sign of toning, corroding, tarnishing, etc on any coins. Of course who knows what they will look like in a hundred years of so. As for putting them in a freezer, that might actually work until they are taken out and condesation hits them. I'll have to try it on some coins. </p><p>Odd thing is at the coin show last Sunday the guy I usually buy the 2x2's from for $2.50/100 sold me some for that price but then produced some that were about 1/3 thicker and he said that is all he will be handling form now on and the price is now $3.00/100. I bought 100 of each and noticed at home the thicker ones are harder to bend, harder to staple, take up a little more room in boxes but the main thing is they hardly fit in those plastic sheets for 3 ring binders with the 20 slot spaces for the 2x2's.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
