<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2391021, member: 71338"]Wow. I love looking at those gold coins and think your storage of them is great. From what I've read, flips and 2x2s are mentioned as short term storage for 3-5 yrs tops, while those hard plastic 2x2s and slabs etc are long term storage. I think they say safe and non safe (PVC) flips are shortterm but I don't understand why, since they won't harm the coins if safe. I have noticed they get kinda brittle and rip in half, which is a pain, and perhaps they let more air in than the longer term storage options. I use all types of storage methods. I've been putting my nicely toned and BU world coins in air tight capsules lately, then putting them in flips. But only my cent and five cent capsules seem to fit in the flips. I have these other flips that are a little bigger and can fit my quarter size and up capsules, but these flips can't fit in binder pages so I'm currently thinking of a better way to store and display these larger flips (I think they are the same brand you mentioned)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
