<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 89344, member: 4552"]One thing that really works well is to buy some large quantity of clear epoxy glue. Lay out one thin layer, wait until it almost hardens, lay out all your coins on that, then add one more thick layer of the epoxy on that. Your coins will be safe from the air, water, cantaminates for thousands of years. No one will be able to handle them either. Other methods should include inserting coins in sandwich bag and placing into wet concrete. Make them into block shapes and use as garden decorations. </p><p> Just kidding. I also use the premade 2x2 holders. Other plastic products should be tested over a period of many years before placing coins in them. Also, the 2x2's don't allow the coin to move around causing minor marks on the coin. I've got most of my valuable coins in Whitman Classic Albums, the album in a large plastic type bag with as much air presses out as possible and then put into a banks safe deposit box. Some have been there for almost 50 years and look the same as when I put them in there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
