<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 24784245, member: 15588&quot;]We have all struggled with this topic at one point or another.</p><p><br /></p><p>After some years of experimentation, I&#039;ve settled on using SAFlips for all but my most expensive coins. So many people over the years have recommended them to me that I finally relented. I put my coins into 2X2 SAFlips (I&#039;ve had no use for the larger size yet), then into Intercept Boxes that hold 2X2 flips. I&#039;ve found this makes for easy storage and perusal. Others have told me that SAFlips can age and crack over time, so they may need replacing at some point in the future. I probably haven&#039;t used them long enough to experience this yet, so I can&#039;t verify.</p><p><br /></p><p>At one time, I put pretty much everything into Air-Tite capsules. These provide plenty of protection, even against dropping, but they really don&#039;t make sense for extremely common or inexpensive coins. Plus, medieval and ancient coins, with their often irregular flans, don&#039;t really work in them (I&#039;m collecting mostly ancients now). But if you pay a decent amount for a coin, and it has a regular sized flan, an Air-Tite will definitely protect it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
