[QUOTE="Urban_Lawyer, post: 1522916, member: 36361"]2x2 is definitely the standard. I'm surprised that they would sell you such crummy stuff. Either (1) they don't know any better or (2) they needed to get rid of some stuff that wasn't selling and they were able to convince a new customer to take it off their hands. Storage is all about what you personally want out of a collection. Some folks like the 2x2 in a sheet that fits into a binder. Other folks (myself included) like putting the coins in 2x2's and leaving them loose so you can view the coins without having to deal with a binder and the extra layer of plastic a binder page presents. I put my loose coins that don't fit into a Dansco into 2x2s and write the date, mintmark, denomination, and year on the front and any coin-specific information on the back (silver content, gold content, whether it belonged to a relative or friend, ect). That way I can view them and handle them as a loose coin without worrying about fingerprints and what-not. They make boxes specific to 2x2 holders: [url]http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/2x2-coin-boxes/[/url][/QUOTE]
