There are some companies that make archival quality cardboard and paper, but not many. In a nutshell, just about anything other than inert plastics and glass causes problems. And so when it comes to making attractive displays, that in itself can be a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several kinds of inert plastics, but clear is best because when you start coloring it the dyes and materials that create the color are seldom inert. So many colored plastics also cause problems. Assuming of course that you want to avoid any toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>And also remember that even having the coins on display, that is a problem as well. For even if you make your display case out of inert materials the coins are still exposed to an uncontrolled environment. So anything and everything that is in the air, it gets to the coins and that causes toning. And often very unattractive toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, if you really want to preserve your coins, you don&#039;t ever want to put them on display.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
