I'm thinking of taking some coins out of their mint set packaging to properly image them.
What do you guys use to store them ? I was considering these
2X2 intercept shield holders.

    Unless the coins are certified in high grade, you will lose money when you remove them from the mint set holder.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    The coins are not to expensive but you can see in this image what the plastic looks like.
    I'm tempted to get a second set of each year as there are only a little over a dozen so far.

    30 years ago I used coin shells/Kointains within non-pvc flips. Any coins I still have in these holders are pristine and unchanged.

    20+ years ago, I started storing many of my raw coins, particularly silver, in paper envelopes to promote toning.
