<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2878458, member: 84179&quot;]Technically, Doug is absolutely correct, but IMO, it depends on what you want to store.&nbsp; For my high grade, valuable raw coins, and ancients/medieval, I use the Saflips that don’t contain PVC.&nbsp; For cheap stuff like minor mint errors and common world coins (yes, I still save this stuff, even though it’s not particularly valuable), the cardboard 2x2s work fine.&nbsp; You still have to be concerned with issues Doug listed, but when storing lots of low value coins, I don’t want the holders to be more valuable than the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have low value coins in cardboard 2x2s that were given to me by an uncle 45 years ago and they look fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>AVOID, the soft plastic flips.&nbsp; They contain PVC, which can react to form a nasty acid residue, that will damage the coin.&nbsp; Lots of dealers use these because they are cheap and generally OK for short term storage.&nbsp; If you ever buy a coin in one of these flips, always put it in something else[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
