    My primary collection has Walking Liberty half dollars and Flying Eagle cents. I like to see my coins and am looking for good way. I'm not fond of Dansco as I use for Type Set. I do have encased certified coins but un-certified by far outnumber those. I have more than one grade of most years (except the rarest) and I like to see and cmpare them.
    I'd appreciate ideas and examples.

    Thank you,
    Regis

    Well once again I like the black ringed airtites - you can get them in almost any MM diameter for any round coin. Nice for your better coins but if you have a bunch of crap or common coins like 5000 wheats then plastic tubes or 2X2 cardboard mylars.

    I vote for the Victorian coin cabinet. Lots of thin drawers with coin sized compartments in a neat cabinet. They are still made and available, though I prefer to find antique ones.

    I "store" photo's of my coins and "view" them every now and again. All are professionally graded and kept in a bank vault.

    However, I do have Dansco's filled with coins as well as 2x2 boxes.

    I would guess that any method a coin owner choses to store their coins is ok by me.

    I was thinking more of some kind of book but, that cabinet is rather awesome. I did a quick search and they seem to be very rare in US compared to UK.
    Like gronnh20, I am going to have to be hunting for one.

    Thanks everyone

    If you have 18,500 wheats like I do use a Rubbermaid bin. ;)

    Great. Now *I* want one, too ;-)

    I'm too cheap to spend $500 on one.

    I like the approach that @davidh took in this thread here

    I also tried Googling "DIY Victorian coin cabinet" and "How to make your own Victorian coin cabinet" and came up with only one good hit:

    If anyone has any others, please post them. Thanks!

    If you keep looking you will eventually find professionally made coin cabinets in Auctions. Caution about building your own or none professionally made, only certain glues can be used so laminate is out. Fumes from the wrong glue will damage your coins

    What types of glue can be used?

    Sorry I'm not into the finer points of glue, just that I have read about the pitfalls
