Hey cointalk, I have bought a 2013 ase recently, and I bought it from a dealer who put it in a holder like this I bought an airtite and put it in there and now it looks nice and neat. What are your ways to store an ase? slabbed, 2 by 2 cardboard holders, airtites, etc.?
When I buy them they come in either the plastic flips like yours did, or in an airtite like that in which you put yours. I leave them in whichever they came in, put them inside a Crown Royal whiskey bag, and keep that along with the receipts inside a Star Wars lunch box with a silica packet in a dresser drawer. I buy one or two coins a week and I only started a couple of months ago, so the collection is pretty small still. As time goes on and the pile of treasure grows I’ll have to find a larger space, but it’s working for now. Remember that the bullion strikes are primarily that, just bullion. I wouldn’t bother slabbing them or freezing them in carbonite or anything. I figure that the flips are plenty protection enough unless you have an exemplary sample and get it graded. And the proofs come in an airtite in a box from the mint, so that seems like ample protection for a bullion coin to me (I keep my one lonely proof in its mint box in the Star Wars lunch box too).
