[QUOTE="Evan_76, post: 1826384, member: 59458"]Hi I'm new to the forum, though I have been reading posts here for a while. I started collecting a few years back, and liked the Whitman album format for storing and viewing my coins. It helps me plan out my purchases and helps me make sure they are all of the same grade when buying raw coins as I can look at them as a set. The word "slider" scares me though, as all of my coins are mint state. I am very careful about placing them in the book correctly, using cotton gloves and sliding the mylar film over the coins as few times as possible, then keep the books (Franklin halfs, Washington quarters, Roosevelt dimes, Jefferson nickels, and Lincoln cents) in my safety deposit box. Is this a good long term storage decision? I can't afford to grade all of these coins. I suppose 2x2s are an option but I am less fond of them from a viewing and enjoyment perspective. Are there better albums than Whitman? Should I consider capital plastic holders if I want my coins to stay mint state for at least the next 20-30 years or so.
