<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 322398, member: 5233"]OK, when I first started collecting coins I started out using those crappy blue whitman cardboard books like a lot of people did. I still have some of my collection housed in these types of books (nothing valuable), but I would like to do something inexpensive but safer with them. I was thinking about using cardboard 2x2s (sealed with staples) and placing them in plastic pages in a binder. But, a lot of those pages are listed as vinyl which worries me because of the presence of PVC. Are vinyl pages safe to use or do they emit a gas that will damage the coins housed in the 2x2s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, is this the best way to house a collection like this. I know the airtites and intercept shield holders are the best...but for inexpensive coins is this an OK way to house them. Also, will the 2x2 intercept shield holders fit in the same pages as the 2x2s? For example, if I wanted to put a set of Lincolns in 2x2s in a book...but I wanted the nicer coins in intercept shield holders, could those be mixed in the pages where needed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
