<p>[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 1275807, member: 19098"]Personally, I wouldn't put expensive BU coins in an album. A person has to be careful when putting them in, and diligent in terms of storage (cool, dry environment, free of contaminants). Several folks have suggested airtites and that is a good way to go. The downside is that it is an expensive way to go for low value coins. So perhaps the album for coins worth less than the holder (under $2), and use airtites as the price goes up. For more expensive key date MS coins (say over $200 in value), I'd buy them certified and leave them in the slabs, but that too is a personal preference. Plenty of folks crack out very MS expensive coins, some worth many thousands of dollars, and put them in albums, but I wouldn't do that. Yet another option is Capital Plastic holders, though they too can get pricey for low value coins. A person can occasionally find used and empty Capital holders for not that much money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
