[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1425862, member: 24633"]Welcome to the neighborhood, Michael! How you store your coins is a matter of personal preference. The cardboard 2x2's are certainly the cheapest method, but as you say, it does make it a little harder to avoid the glare when trying to photograph the coins in them. Actually, neither the 2x2's nor the flips offer much in the way of protection. The big advantage to using the flips is the ability to remove the coins for photographs, but you do have to be careful when inserting the coins because they have a sharp edge which could scratch a coin. There are others who prefer to use AirTites, and this is the most expensive method. The hardest thing to overcome using this method is that many of the ancients have an irregular shape and they may not fit well in the AirTites. I don't collect ancients, so I'm not 100% positive. Maybe some of the other collectors will chime in and address this possibility. Chris[/QUOTE]
