Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2583268, member: 13307"]You know, a fun option for 2x2 or flips are old slide storage cases.  Perfect size, hold about 75-150 or so depending on which case you get, and you can find them at local thrift shops for a couple bucks.  They aren't air tight, but it does make it feel like you're a spy loading secret materials into a case...(or Dexter with his "souvenirs") That being said, my nicest coins are graded and are in NGC storage boxes.  Middle of the road coins (coins that are much too nice to be "tossed" in a bulk storage container, but not really nice enough to get graded) are in 2x2.  Bulk silver foreign coins are in Lock-Tite containers with desiccant packets.  US coins that I have multiples of (like my 1937 S Washington Quarter Hoard) are in plastic coin tubes.  Paper money from my grandmother's hoard that I bought are in sleeves and then a storage box.  All of this is guarded on an island with a moat around it.  The moat is filled with Nile crocodiles with friggin' laser beams attached to their heads. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  If you make it past the island, a loudspeaker blasting Sir Paul McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" presents the final almost insurmountable obstacle.  If you get past all that...nothing but CAPTCHA check screens with illegible text.[/QUOTE]
