[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 2771788, member: 85496"]How to organize depends on how you want them displayed and if you want them to tone over time or not. The simplest way is to put the clad ones in 2x2's(which you can write on), then put them in binders with 2x2 sleeves. This will allow toning over time and is what I do. Eventually I will get a Dansco 8176 w/proofs album for them as well. I do put all my raw silver Ikes in Air-Tites and store them in boxes. I also have quite a few Brown Boxes and would have to break a couple open to fill holes in an album if I got one. I am one who believes in freeing coins from their mint cellophane. Having said that, once you have an album full of nice Ikes, you might want to consider leaving the rest in their OGP if you plan to hoard them.Makes storage a little easier. Ikes are very inexpensive(right now) and it is easy to become overwhelmed with them.
