<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Virginian, post: 416189, member: 15201&quot;]Question a) Card board and mylar 2x2s like you are using are fine for circulated and lower value coins as you describe.&nbsp; I would use a dessicant package to put in the box with the coins or even better, buy an Intercept Shield 2x2 sized box to store them in.&nbsp; When you start buying UNC and PROOF highier value coins, TPGS slabs are probably the best protection, followed by Airtite and Eagle (brand) holders.&nbsp; These too should get a dessicant package and should be stored in an Intercept Shield box to protect your investment.&nbsp; Common and or circulated coins can be stored in plastic roll tubes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Question b):&nbsp; Most serious collectors see the bullion issues as mostly a bullion product as they are not real &quot;commerce/business&quot; coins.&nbsp; They have their rarity with mint marks and varieties, but they are really modern bullion nonetheless.&nbsp; The Walking Libertys of yesteryear were real half dollars and compared to the &quot;Eagle Walkers&quot; which are $1 coins are infact really in most cases bullion and will never be the same thing.&nbsp; These and the buffalos, St. Gaudens etc are from different dies and different metal content.&nbsp; My recommendation is to collect the real thing in as high grade and as rare as possible. Personally, the current mint products don&#039;t interest me-but that is just me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Question c) It depends on the value and scarcity of the coin with the condition being considered of the first two points.&nbsp; Rare and valuable coins seldom get this treatment.&nbsp; Common and circulated coins seem to by dealers and some collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
