I just got those Israel Damascus Gate coins and they are very pretty.
I'd like to "album them up" somehow but haven't been into any supply places for years.
The Israel coins were packaged about as bad as it gets.
In ...BOXES... (of course 
) and in sealed plastic round casing ...INSIDE...a stupid shrink wrap that lets the whole thing fall on the floor when you open and....and... and
I'm ranting! 
Anyhow... back to the point. I think I read someone post about some sort of fake slab thing that would hold most any coin or medal and at least be manageable for storage is something other than a storage shed..... oops...ranting again...
I don't care about keeping some of these silly things "original" as they aren't really coins anyhow.
I'd like to be able to keep capsules and not be cracking out for cheapo looking 2x2's
Is there something out there for dumb packaged coins for grumpy old ranters?
Thanks.

You can get slabs to put your coins in (with labels) from Wizard Coin Supply... Cheers, RickO

Put them in even stupider TPG plastic holders so they can be exposed to debris, saliva, fingerprints and assorted bacteria -- oh, and don't forget to waste extra money for the slabbing and inconsistent "grades."
The hobby can be very enjoyable without the fixations on "grading" and similar things. Spend you money on learning how to spot problem coins and then buying nice coins free of trauma.
If your looking to display I would go with a spring case
Best place to buy !
