<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 1707505, member: 19250&quot;]After 50 + years of collecting I have seen all types of holders and albums.I can remember when Whitman first came out with the two sided album it was state of the art. For the first time you could see both the Obv. &amp; Rev. of your coin. </p><p>After all these years and a sucker for the newest fad in holders. I went back to old school I agree with Rusty using Kointains and flips inserted into the binder pages for storage. I also use the white tags to mark the flip with all data on the coin. I posted this a few weeks ago in a Thread started by Gbroke. I also use a p touch to make the labels. </p><p>Now here are my reasons.. Kointains have been around since the 50&#039;s, most all museums&nbsp; use them for their storage.</p><p>I do have slabbed coins and hate them, I also have air tights and hate them...both are costly to use and you have no contact with the coin in hand.&nbsp; I like to hold and feel my coins not a big hunk of plastic I find using the Kointain it puts a protective shield on the coin that then can be put into a flip without scratching the surface or high points.In cert a white tag with the P touch label and you have a clean looking item that can easy be removed and then place back for storage. </p><p>I do suggest that you use white cotton gloves to do the insertion of the coin into the Kointain capsule to avoid finger prints. </p><p>I find coin storage a real issue as everyone has their own ideas ,plus think about this for how many years has someone come out with a new method of storage and still no one has come up with a method that really works 100% as to what a collector wants to store their coins. </p><p>Think about it....what is one style of storage that give you the collector everything you want to display and store your coins. One would think it be easy to come up with an idea that would work to everyones needs....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
