<p>[QUOTE="buckeye73, post: 7706091, member: 93155"]I store lesser value coins in over-sized cardboard 2x2’s in order to maintain a clear view of the rim of the coin. For example, a quarter holder is used for a nickel. Also, the stapled open end of the 2x2 is at the top to prevent potential damage from staples when removing the 2x2 from the storage box. When the coin is removed from the 2x2, a wooden toothpick is used to penetrate and tear the Mylar. Any metal device used to remove the coin could potentially damage it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Higher value coins are slabbed and middle range coins are stored in archival vinyl flips to eliminate damage from staples of any kind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
