<p>[QUOTE=&quot;odhinn, post: 1426252, member: 21571&quot;]I have some US coins, some inherited, some circulated finds, mostly pre-&#039;65 silver with some cents and nickels.&nbsp; None of it is exceptional, so I&#039;m not worried about airtites or other more expensive storage options.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some bulk coins go in coinsafe coin tubes.&nbsp; For collections I want to look at and continue to fill in, I&#039;m likely going with 1.5x1.5 or 2x2 cardboard+mylar stored in archival pages in a 3 ring binder, and a flat clinch stapler to keep the staples down.&nbsp; Keeps the coins in place, easy to store, easy to view, and seems a reasonable cost / safety compromise for this level of coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve searched through the forums, see lots of people talking about 3 ring binders, but just generically.&nbsp; Given how bad PVC and other chemicals are for coins, isn&#039;t anyone concerned about PVC, etc. in the binder itself? Most 3 ring binders seem to be vinyl-covered, although I search Amazon and see there are &quot;PVC-free binders&quot; which appear to be polypropylene, so I&#039;ll likely get a few of those.</p><p><br /></p><p>Questions for 3 ring binder users out there:</p><p><br /></p><p>- What binder do you use?&nbsp; Any PVC concerns?</p><p>- How big a ring? 2&quot;</p><p>- Are D-rings any better</p><p>- Do you use slipcovers / ziploc / other protection around the binder?&nbsp; If so, doesn&#039;t that lock in any outgassed chemicals from the binder?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
