    I just got this in the mail. I don't like to let things just rattle around...I typically have coins in a slab or a 2x2 flip. Any idea how to keep this in the round container they sent it to me in, but still have it in something where it will stay in place in the intercept box I store it in? I suppose I could find a thick piece of cardboard, cut out a hole and insert this in the hole...

    Ideas, or examples of what some of you have done....?

    I don't know but that's a pretty cool contrast on that coin.

    Best to keep it in the capsule so that you don't get any unwanted toning (tarnish). You can put them into mylar 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" flips. You may need a separate box, but you can store them safely.

    Keep in the capsule and put in a plastic baggie, squeezing out all of the air. Even then you are not assured.........silver tones. Maybe not in this lifetime, but in another. Stop sweating the small stuff. There is an abundance of (dunces) people who pay large premiums for toned coins.......

    also add a 3M anti-tarnish strip.
    and a small anti-humidity packet.
