[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1518695, member: 15199"]Since Preston is at a very early stage of his adventure, and will probably be anxious to show the coins to others and handle them, a very inexpensive method until you are ready to invest in better, expensive ( as you get more and more coins ) is to buy some small polyethylene bags with a ziploc in the craft section of Walmart near the beads supplies ( at least in my walmart). The only package with a label in my house is this info. 2x3 in reclosable bag, E12-9 Dept. 19 barcode 8267600655. A package of 100 was a little over a dollar or so. They have smaller sizes that are less expensive. First , it not the most professional thing, but Preston or his friends can handle, cough on them, put them in their pocket, and the coin is as safe as in 2x2 cardboard in my opinion. The plastic is safe, and if one squeezes the air out before zipping, they are safer from corrosion. I have had some go through the laundry with no leakage. If you have a group of small bags, you can put them into a regular quart ziploc bag, to keep them together. Marking pens write on them quite well. Jim[/QUOTE]
