<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-monolith-, post: 24763012, member: 150064&quot;]I know this is an old post but the information is still relevant. It seems like most museums, institutions, and well known private collectors prefer &quot;velvet&quot; lined coin cabinets. Although you have to be careful with the finishes applied to the wood as there have been recent reports of certain wood stains and sealants damaging the coins. I have been storing my collection in unplasticized coin flips (PVC free) and carboard coin storage boxes for nearly 20 years without any issues. I used SAFLIP brand until recently and have switched to a better quality flip sold by Sacagawea thru Walmart. I like the Sacagawea flips because they are thicker, more flexible and have rounded corners. The SAFLIP&#039;s are thin and more brittle so they have a tendency to tear over time. I finally have enough coins now to transfer them from storage boxes to binder pages. I want to be able to flip thru and look at the coins without having to go thru a bunch of drawers. I thought about storing them in Abafil trays and cases like you but I think it will be impractical based on the number of coins in my collection; I try to double the size of my collection every year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
