I know lot of you use dansco albums. Recently I was told that Intercept Sheild albums are better than dansco in terms of stopping toning. Intercept albums provide better protection with a special tarnish preventing sheet between each page. I would like to know your opinion on this. Currently I'm using air tites but I would like to have them in an album.

How about stakable trays? I can use air tites to store the coins and then store in a tray.

I have never been an album guy but I recently got a Dansco for my type set and I quite like it.

Not quite airtights, but for ease of storage and portability of my tokens, non-Morgans ("lesser" value coins), and other coins not in slabs, I've been putting them in flips which I then put into plastic (mylar?) 3-ring binder photo album inserts, available at Walmart, Office Max, and, I presume any photo shop. I'm also not much of an album guy, but I certainly see their utility for those who are.

You can try this site,

I'm just not sure whether they're completely safe, the velvet material.

rggoodie, when I emailed them they said "All material coming in contact with coins is free of PVC."
I know just that is not good enough, but then again I don't know what to ask for specifically. If you do find out anything please let me know as I would love to have my Morgans on something like that.

I can personally vouch for SafePub products. I know the owners very well and have purchased several of their products. Top quality all the way.
They attend quite a few of the larger shows around the nation.

Using an album is fine, however, great care must be used in placing them in the album. Use good soft cotton gloves and don't slide across the coin.

ND, Does it mean you believe the Nova stackable trays are safe?

They are safe, however, precautions still must be used. Whether you use airtites, or kontains, or 2x2's, or whatever you like, a good DRY place is a must. A silica gel pack is highly recommended. These cost about $5 and can be reused many times over the years.
Even with albums, these precautions should be used.
I am constantly amazed that collectors will spend thousands of dollars on their collections but buy the cheapest forms of protection. Boggles the mind.
I recommend a 80/20 split for collectors. For every hundred dollars spent, 20 goes to TOP QUALITY tools and protection, and 80 on coins.
Good tools and reference material will save you SO MUCH money in the long run that it pays for itself. A good safe, and good protection also is a no brainer.
Airtites can average about a $1 and offer great protection. So why any coin valued at more than $10 isn't in one is just silly. You can use the holder over and over, so the cost is a one time purchase. IF and when you ever decide to sell the coin, keep the airtite. You don't lose the investment.
