<p>[QUOTE=&quot;someconcerns, post: 1725207, member: 51052&quot;]Back in the day, when I was actively collecting large cents in the 1970&#039;s and early 80&#039;s,&nbsp; most of the older collectors used 1.75 by 1.75 inch cotton envelopes inside 2x2 paper envelopes for storage of mint state cents and half cents.&nbsp; I remember Jules Reiver always hummed when he got out his gloves to handle them and his camel-hair brush to burnish them a bit.&nbsp; I did put most of my MS pieces in cotton, but never really got into the brushing part.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the coin snaps and holder issue, the coin snaps specs show a box holds 100 stapled cardboard 2x2s but only 30 coin snaps.&nbsp; Where does one draw the line for which coins go in a plastic holder (and does Whitman still make those?)?&nbsp; If you are putting your best 5000 or so coins in a bank deposit box, the space adds up.&nbsp; Is there some heavy-duty cardboard and mylar (they still use mylar?) 2x2 you guys would use for cheaper coins, even if they are mint state or proof?</p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize for not being aware of what is current state-of-the-art, as I&#039;ve been out of this for years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
