<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greyfang, post: 275348, member: 1864&quot;]a. Use a Half-Dollar &quot;Titled Page&quot; from Dansco which will have 20 ports per page.</p><p>b. Buy Airtight direct-fit holders for cents (19mm), the outer diameter will press-fit nicely into the above page.</p><p>c. Buy the appropriate Dansco binder(s) and slipcase(s)</p><p>d. Buy the Dansco single-sheet currency inserts, to place between pages, so your Airtights don&#039;t bump and scuff each other.</p><p>e. Buy clear ink-jet labels to label the front and back of each port.&nbsp; Cover the Half Dollar heading on top of the page with an opaque label describing Lincoln Cents 1909-xyz, etc.</p><p>f. Buy a Dansco 2x2 page for the rear of the book, to place labels from any coins you break out of slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, if a coin means a lot to you financially, or it&#039;s value depends on conditional rarity, or you plan on selling it soon, I would not mess with the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought one type of every known half-dollar page, knowing the diameter of a half-dollar was close to the outer diameter of an Airtight holder.&nbsp; Some didn&#039;t work well, bowing the pages, etc.&nbsp; But the Dansco is a nice press-fit, and I have removed some Airtights maybe a dozen times, with no loss of holding power.</p><p><br /></p><p>This method takes more room than a straight-up binder with sheets, but IMHO is way more protective, AND you can remove individual coins for replacement or photographs, without disturbing the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had time I&#039;d post pics, but this is how I safely store mine but in a format where I can flip through and enjoy them.&nbsp; A shoebox full of slabs is nice protection, but bulky and poor for display.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
