[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 2444511, member: 82616"]For sometime I've been debating on whether or not to radically change my coin storage method. Up until now I have kept my coins in 2x2 cardboard holders stored in coin boxes. There are some drawbacks to this method: not enough room to write information on the holders, staples (enough said), a pain to open and once opened the holders had to be discarded, kind of cheap looking.
