<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 708343, member: 13650&quot;]First off, depending on the coin, most people will not leave their stuff in card board 2x2&#039;s.&nbsp; They work, they&#039;re fine and cheap for dealers selling coins and for you to get them home.&nbsp;&nbsp; But once you get it home, it&#039;s better to put in something safer.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t worry about it for everything of course.&nbsp; But I would not leave a $100+ coin in a 2x2.&nbsp; &nbsp; Especially if it&#039;s high MS with full luster remaining.&nbsp;&nbsp; Intercept Shield makes really nice plastic 2x2&#039;s that clean the air around coins and protects them from toning.&nbsp; I use a lot of these.&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;re sold in 3 packs for whatever type you need.&nbsp; They also make nice boxes to store their 2x2s in.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As for albums, there are many more options than just Whitman albums.&nbsp; Dansco and Intercept Shield are favorites around here.&nbsp; They&#039;re pricier than Whitman albums but much more high quality and you can view both sides of the coins through sliding plastic sleeves.&nbsp;&nbsp; The IS of course are made of their special material again, which protects them from chemicals in the air and toning.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have IS albums for my MS Franklin half set and one for my buffalo nickel set.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m happy with them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I believe there&#039;s another brand named Eagle (could be wrong) that makes an album that allows you to slide the regular cardboard 2x2s in the pages if you wish.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen those in person and they make for a nice display as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s also albums that you can stick NGC/PCGS slabbed coins in the pages. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; A place like wizard coin supply carries all the aformentioned stuff you may be interested in.&nbsp;&nbsp; HTHs[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
