<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mi chael, post: 331372, member: 9552&quot;]Coin storage? Easy . . . you know those single unmatched socks? Tin can.&nbsp; Back yard. Need I say more??</p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously, I don&#039;t know but I have yet to spend hundreds of dollars trying different things for the same coins - but I&#039;m working on it. Air-tites seemed best so I started there. Really nice, especially with the ring inserts. But they&#039;re big.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried Kointains -WOW! they were really great with&nbsp; ASEs; fit like a glove, can&#039;t imagine a smaller container unless there&#039;s some kind of spray-on.&nbsp; For dollars (Morgans) they suck! Closing them over a coins seems impossible at times and, when finally successful,you end up with a flat bubble - will NOT stack upon one another and annoyingly pop as the fades are held and squeezed.&nbsp; (Can&#039;t get rid if the over the face(s) bubble.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m settling in in 2x2 flips - the Saflips because I like the way they seal completely and, with the right diam. you can make them look like a plateau erupting from the flip&#039;s face (good for edge viewing.) These are then stored in three ring binders in plastic pages. Makes for heavy binders, though, and I tend to keep Dollar/Taler/Crown size coins in Airtites which are stored in long boxes made for storage of 2x2 flips.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the cigar box. Those damned slabs! and the presentation boxes and books, etc. There&#039;s no good way for them so a cigar box. I really hope I don&#039;t have to graduate to a shoe box.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I find storage frustrating. I&#039;d like to have them all in a big can, or some such, so I can take them out and play with them once in a while. (That&#039;s why I tried the Kointains.) I know, it&#039;s sacrilege, but I didn&#039;t have blocks when I child (or something.)&nbsp; When looking at my coins I feel like I&#039;m watching a slide show,&nbsp; there&#039;s a detachment, a removal. The whole point of a coin is to have it in your hand so you may make use of it. I may want to look, not spend them but that&#039;s still use. Best I can do is to buy some coins for the primary purpose of fulfilling my need to hold them, run my fingers through them, dive in and swim with them</p><p><br /></p><p>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
