Storing, protecting, displaying my coins

OK, I need to tap into your heads again, friends, this time, with an inevitable dilemma - how to store, show, and protect the coins I've [so far] acquired.
I've completed my SAE set of proofs, have a few extras of certain years, in addition to a few more with PF/PR grading. In addition, I've begun to acquire Morgans, with the goal of (and this will take a LITTLE longer than the SAE's) building a reasonable representation of a "set" (Yes, I recognize, though do not yet fully appreciate, the formidable challenge which faces me).
I seem, as well, to have developed an affection for cents, large and small, and have acquired several very nice, sharp coins, though all of these (and the Morgans) are raw. I prefer to pay more if I can obtain a higher quality coin , as opposed to paying less just to possess a particular year/mint, regardless of eye appeal.
Thus, I want to properly care for these coins, one and all, and seek a means of organbizing that won't break the bank (my new-found hobby's already DONE that!).
Thanks for your input!

The slab functions to protect, store, and display the coins safely, asides from a grading opinion.
You can also get your own slabs and do it yourself, and grade it yourself.

Unless you know what you are doing I would avoid raw coins until you have the expertise needed in this hobby to avoid very costly mistakes when buying.
It also helps if you sell as it gives an independent opinion to the seller.
The NGC boxes hold both PCGS and NGC slabs.
I also recommend using a desiccant to prevent humidity damage.

The intercept shield individual holders are 99 cents each per slab.

<< <i>At the last Santa Clara show I saw binders that had pages for slabs. It will store 9 slabs per page. That would be an interesting way to view and store them. You could create a true library of coins.
Those are made by Eagle, and are available through Amos Advantage. Also available are CoinWorld slabs. This is how I store my Morgan collection. You can buy the pages alone (6 for $26.00) and the holders (for your non-slabbed coins) and put them in heavy duty 3 ring binders. Also, they have adapters for the old small ANACS holders.
