<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 484454, member: 1873"]I have tried EVERYTHING over the past 30 years and have found NOTHING, based on convenience, cost and results, has beaten the Airtite holder. I pulled almost all of my collection out of albums, due to heavy toning, years ago. I recently described a unique situation, on another forum, of a problem I encountered in the past 3 years which I can share here. I bought 3 of the 2005-D Speared Bison buffalo nickels, when they were discovered that year, and stored them in a safe for the past 3 years. Now I might add I don't collect error coins but I am a huge buffalo collector so they fit into my addiction. One of the coins was raw, one was graded by NGC and the last one was graded by ANACs. The only coin that has retained its original surface is the raw coins, resting comfortably in the mylar 2X2. The Anacs coin is now heavily toned and the NGC coin is starting the toning process. Being an old fashion collector I tend to keep my coins "as I bought them" so I regret not putting anything I have ever owned in airtite holders. Almost everything else has failed me, over the long haul, and nothing is more readily available and easier to work with than the airtite. I have NEVER had a coin tone in an airtite so I will probably swear by them until the day I die. I might also mention the mere fact, over a period of years, a collection can grow by leaps and bounds so economically I found the airtite to reign supreme. Both my wife and I collect so protecting a vast number of coins turned into a costly venture over the years. Hundreds of dollars worth of albums have been sold off on Ebay as they failed us miserably. We have tried everything but now only keep airtites and mylar 2X2's on hand. This is based on nothing more than years of experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
