<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Soda Ant, post: 361159, member: 13460&quot;]I&#039;m just getting back into the collecting hobby and I&#039;m trying to decide from the outset how I want to store my coins, hence the poll. My collections include mint state and proof Jefferson Nickels, Washington Quarters 1932-1964, Franklin Halves, and state quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>The two primary things I&#039;m looking for are consistency and protection. Here&#039;s my take on the options in the poll:</p><p><br /></p><p>2&quot;x2&quot; cardboard: Pros--Cheap, easy to label, compact; Cons--plastic in very close contact with the coin, possibly contributing to toning and spotting, staples can scratch the coin if not careful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Flips: Pros--Relatively cheap, easy to label; Cons--very stiff, hard to insert coin and label, coin can slide around possibly resulting in hairline scratches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin World Coin Holders: Pros--Easy to insert coin, easy to label (software available to print using laser printer), low risk of damage to coin; Cons--Expensive, bulky.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kointains, Airtites: Pros--Compact, good looking, easy to insert coin, low risk of coin damage; Cons--Expensive, difficult to label. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whitman 2&quot;x2&quot; plastic holders: Pros--Relatively inexpensive, easy to insert coin, low risk of coin damage; Cons--Difficult to label.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d welcome any advice from more experienced forum members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
