Coin storage

[Jules]

Hello

Currently I'm storing my coins in albums which have clear plastic pockets. However, I've read that these are not the best long-term solution because of contamination from the plastic. I've been considering switching to Lindner capsules (maybe with the annular inserts which adjust to differently sized coins). I'd be grateful for any advice on the pros and cons.

Regards

Jules

If your album will take 2x2 flips problem solved.

I use these for the majority of my coins (although I have 4 linder trays and 14 other types of tray...10 in aluminium cases )

Linder capsules with inserts would cost me more than an Oxford shilling.

I use something similar (a little better) to http://www.predecimal.com/large-dealers-album-with-pages-p-47.html?osCsid=40de63acc276cc4b95b22759456ea469 with 30 pages for my best coins and some date runs.

I use a massive Arrowfile affair for the bulk of my collection.

I use the Lighthouse Optima M range for this, where you can store 12 2*2's per page, my better coins are self slabbed

The pages with slips in for the coins were also pretty good, but the plastic is hard so I was always worried about scratching the coins.

Thanks all. 2*2 Flips sound promising.
