Message:: [QUOTE="Clint, post: 1371919, member: 34620"]...is what I'm hoping you will share in this thread!  I'm getting to the point I need to transition everything too nice for Saflips, and not dear enough for TPG slabbing.  I've read numerous threads, but wanted to be sure before I back up the truck on storage stuff. 1. Archival.  Doesn't need to be 100% airtite, so slabs, air-tites, etc. are all O.K. with me.  Cardboard, staples, PVC, etc. are NOT.  Smashing coins into plastic to get 'em in--and the associated difficulty ever getting them out without similar damage--is OUT. 2. Standard external diameter.  This would be great:  I'd like to buy one album page and insert various types.  (I think this counts out Air-tites.) 3. Speaking of album pages, I'd like them to fit standard 3-ring binders. 4. Non-rotational.  I don't want coins spinning in their...umm...vaults. 5. Edge viewing.  Not a requirement, but that potential makes the Coinedge from Coin World appealing. 6. Not exhorbitant price.  I'm looking at a maximum of $1 each.  So that's the Intercept option. 7. Quadrum?  This holder from Lighthouse is the third on my short list. Any others I'm missing which fit my criteria?  Oh, and do you recommend a quick acetone rinse and dry during the transition?  I never did that with several of my coins, and some have a tiny bit of fingerprint or other dirtiness.  Many will be leaving their 2x2 cardboard torture chambers for good.  Thanks![/QUOTE]
