[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 4494626, member: 75937"]Trays or an old fashioned coin cabinet are nice, and do offer you the ability to handle the coins as much as you want. However, they have their downsides: [LIST] [*]Over time, the reverses can wear down from sliding around. [*]You do have to worry about the effect of the paper and archival quality cardboard is recommended. [*]If you drop the tray, coins will go flying, potentially damaging or losing them. [*]This is only practical if you have a small number of coins; for collectors that have a thousand (or more) coins, finding space for the trays or a cabinet big enough to hold them is a challenge. [/LIST] I put my coins in archival 2x2 flips, which are stored in pages in three-ring binders. Others do well by storing coins in envelopes in boxes designed to hold them. I think these are better long-term storage solutions.[/QUOTE]
