Slabs, Air-Tites, Plastic holders, etc

The standard plastic 20 x 2x2 3-ring binder pages are not big enough to hold a plastic 2x2. However, they do sell ones for the plastic 2x2's like this:

I like to use these Coin World Premier Holders plus I can put my own label on it

 

How do you keep all the airtites organized?

 

I just subdivide by whatever categorization I want. Typically just between gold and silver and the silver just between ASEs (of which I have the most) and everything else.

I don't have so many coins that I have a "problem" yet. I'll figure that out when I do but I'm thinking some sort of a rack that the air-tites will rest on in whatever the order of the day might be.

 

I have been having the same debate with myself on how best to store some of my coins. One of the coins is a Chain cent, even though very low grade I want it well protected. I like the air-tites, but don't like the fact that there is no room for any labeling information, such as weight or variety. I have ordered some of the coin world holders to see how they work out.

 

I've recently ordered some 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz silver rounds and would like to put them in Air-Tites when they arrive. What would be the correct size of Air-Tite to use for these sizes?

 

I myself would get my favorite coin slabbed. it makes no sense slabbing a low value coin if the slabbing fee is $30.oo-45.00. I have used mostly 2X2 for most of my collection. I am using airtites for my favorite circulated coins and proofs. airtites especially for proofs because I do NOT want there surfaces scratched. most coin shops sell airtites. ebay sells them.

 

Airtite makes squares with airtite insert holes. You can put an Airtite in there, and label on the board. They also sell boxes that you can slide the cards into. I bought a box of Airtites, two boxes, and two different styles of cards so I could see what I like. I like them all. I've seen other discussions on this board about putting airtites into boxes. There were some long skinny boxes that seemed to hold the airtites just fine.

 

All of my coins that are not slabbed are either in air-tites or in kointains. I use the air-tites for those coins that are in the upper grading ranges and then use the kointains for my circulated halves and such. I get them all directly from air-tites.com. The kointains are much less expensive to use.
