    Thanks - they are kinda nice - I like to coins that haven't been dinked with and look nice and original. So - let me ask this? What's the preferred method of storing these things since they come in all shapes and sizes? Cardboard flips? What about PVC contamination or other environmental damage to the coins?

    Looks like a nice pick up!

    Hi Frank! We always knew you were a Darksider at heart, even though you were in the closet for the longest time.

    I use non-PVC Saflips for most of my collection, and AirTites for some too.

    Nice finds, I like them all, Saflips are a good bet, they archival quality non-pvc, they run about $5.00 per 50 from AMOS advantage (Coin World) and slightly more at Brent-Krueger....

    I'm embarrassed to say, that I have mine in 2x2s in a three ring binder. I haven't come up with a better way, though at some point I want to do something nicer for the Japanese type set I'm working on. My medals now have a new home in a lovely cabinet my step-father made for me--he collects amber and fossils and has gotten quite adept at making the cabinets. It works for those because they are larger, but the coins would look lost in there.

    Love that L.500 - if you want to put your fingerprints all over it first I'd be happy to take it off your hands image

    If you put it in an airtight it won't get scratches when you roll it around in your hands image
