<p>[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 2533154, member: 51347"]I store mine in OPEN 2x2 Saflips (as 2x4 open), and put them into a Littleton Album. The slots are 2x4. I hand write my labels, and all provenance labels are with the Saflip. My Chinese Knive Currency even fits within the album slots. My large 90+ gram coins, Scarabae, etc. are in a larger Saflip, however stored in acid-free boxes. All large docs (Export Docs, Guarantees, Provenance, Certification/Authenticity, etc) are in a file folder.</p><p><br /></p><p>With my set up, I have a card stock page between each album page (holds six coins), and you can read each page, flip the page and read the other side and see the coins from each side. (Acid free Cardstock further pads the coin pages and acts as a backing so you see the coin well)... I cannot use the staple flips as many of my coins are either too large, too small, or way too thick. I can get approx 60-80 coins an album, dependent on thickness. Everything PVC free, acid free, and have desiccant pages in the albums. Additionally, I use my rechargeable desiccant cans from my gun safes with my coins.
