<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1553146, member: 40340"]That's a tough call, in my own case it's not really a price limit, it's more of a condition limit. Most of my albums are filled with "circulated" coins that i'm not really worried about "touching" however, my morgans and franklin halves are a mixed lot but because of their "mirror" finishes even a minor fingerprint could cause noticable damage so they get an album with the aceitate covers to protect their finishes. The best example i can give is with pennys, my Indianheads and flying eagles are in the classic cardboard fold albums open to the air while my 1975-current book is all BU's and i have added an aceitate cover sheet to each page to protect their finish. Finaly I have many ASE's and rounds that get put in airtights or at minimum into 2x2 flips. So at least in my case it is not a matter of what coins cost that decides the storage method but the actual condition of the coin itself and it's need to be protected. On a final note any coin i really want to keep "safe" gets sent off to be slabbed for ultimate protection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
