[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 5455379, member: 110504"][USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER], this is making a lot of intuitive sense. ...'Intuitive' being shorthand for, '[I]Gosh[/I], [I]I [/I]never thought of that....' I really need to revisit what folks here (you, maybe, for one?) have said about mylar envelopes, only within the last week or two. What I do, in keeping with your attachment to the ephemera (also conspicuously mentioned here over the last week), is to use paper envelopes, which then go into small letter envelopes (3 5/8" x 6 1/2"), with 3" x 5" index cards, with everything I know about the coin, known references emphatically included. Along with everything there is in the way of tickets. Two obvious disadvantages are that nothing besides the envelope for the coin is even ostensibly acid-free, and the whole project is labor-intensive enough that I'm Way behind in following my own advice. It worked better when I was poorer than I am now, and more consistently had more time than money. But you end up with everything being reliably in the same place.[/QUOTE]
