[QUOTE="John Conduitt, post: 4608140, member: 109923"]I usually use the pre-cut Quadrum holders, and has been said, rounding the size down is better so it fits tightly (it may need a bit of a push). They hold the coin and protect it (you can even drop it without consequence), but it's easy to get them out. They all then go neatly in a Quadrum box. I put re-usable moisture absorption crystal packets in the box, but I have no idea if that's necessary! But you need to buy a lot of different sizes, all in boxes of 10. You have a lot left over. They do get used eventually - then you have to buy another 10. For smaller sizes (less than 14mm) they have smaller holders, but I don't like them - they don't fit in the box with the other holders.
