My Coin Storage Shopping List - whew!

hamster7

I’m attempting to conquer my cluttered box of coins. I’m trying to get everything organized while using archival quality material throughout. I've read every thread and webpage on storage I could find and here is my resulting shopping list. Your comments and feedback are appreciated. E.g, any safer alternatives you can recommend? Other archival products I should consider? Looking forward to ordering and organizing.

(Many of these products are available from multiple stores. My links are not an endorsement for any particular retailer.)

• Flips: E.T. Kointainer saflips (made from archival safe PET) link
• Slabs: Coin world slabs (made from acrylic shell, polythelene insert) link

Binders:

• Slab pages: Lighthouse ENCAPSLAB (made from PET according to Lighthouse email) link

Very nice research. I can't argue with any of your choices or think of anything you missed except nice to have extras which aren't really related to preservation or storage.
Magnifier: a 10x Loop or eye magnifier or head mounted stereo magnifier
Photo Microscope: a USB type with photo capture software
Digital Camera and Lighting: to photograph your coins

good job looking up the materials that make up those products

not asking what products are made of is costing us our entire water supply in the usa

Let me add a couple of inexpensive suggestions. Food safe zip lock bags are a good place to store albums, as are food safe tupperware type of containers. I also like the storage boxes designed for scrapbooking, they are archival quality and add another layer of protection.

Layers of protection are a good idea, especially in humid climates.
