<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 601559, member: 4230&quot;]The only coins i put in the CW holders was my collection of (non W) ASE&#039;s. All i bought for that first purchase were 3 dozen of the ASE size. After seeing what they did, i dont think i will try any other coin. Nothign against toned coins.. but i prefer my coins rust free <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I dont find anything particularly &#039;wrong&#039; with airtights! The qualities Leadfoot has mentioned are dead on. They do a good job of protecting coins. The 1 issues i have with them however, is they do not pass the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/objects_conservation/spring_2003/oddy.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/objects_conservation/spring_2003/oddy.asp" rel="nofollow"> &#039;Oddy Test&#039; </a>. This means containaments do and will come in contact with the coin in time. While the coinedge holders have passed this test, i have more faith in them. However, the coinedge holders are cheap IMHO. If i could get a cross between the Airtights and coinedge... i would put all my money on them!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Also ... keep in mind .. with all the TIME you put into your collection ... with all the MONEY you put into your collection ... think of all the CARE you attend to when handling your collection. Keep all that in mind when buying items to protect your collection. Most often it is the cheaper items that will do the most harm. PVC is cheap because its possibly the worst material to use to store coins. Airtights are some of the most expensive .. and for a reason ... they are good! While i do understand the constraints of a very small budget <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> i beg you to buy the best storage medium you can afford for the type of coin you are storing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(rant over lol)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
