<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Willner, post: 560260, member: 11144&quot;]Who knew? When my son and I got started coin collecting 2 years ago we both thought, &quot;Ancients, what&#039;s so great about them? Rusty, rude shaped little lumps. But, look at these nice shiny Peace Dollars! Ooo ahh... shiny!&quot;. Well of course, a year and a half later we are both hooked on ancients, are both reading Sear, Sayles, and prowling vCoins / Ancients Mall.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the question of storage. Modern US coins and most world coins seem simple.... there are Dansco (or similar) albums custom to the coin series, or at worst, there are 2 x 2s to keep them in. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients don&#039;t seem happy in 2 x 2s. I don&#039;t think there are Danco type custom albums for them. Currently I store them in an Optima album (strips slide out of a page with pairs of pockets you can slide the coin into). Not 100% happy with this either... getting the coins out to play with them means sliding them out of the pocket against the plastic. And, the pockets don&#039;t seal so the coins can drop out (as has happened with some of the bigger, heavier specimens).</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you mind sharing how you store your ancient coins? I&#039;d like to hear how some seasoned collectors handle this. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
