Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 10:15 am Hi There - Can you tell me if there are some good, general value/price guidelines of what to use to protect Lincoln cents in the following protectors: * 2 x 2 cardboard flips (e.g., up to $10?) * 2 x 2 vinyl flips (e.g., up to $20?) * airtites (e.g., up to $50) * any other storage devices (e.g., tubes, certified cases, etc.) Thank you in advance!

Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 10:24 am That is an interesting question @hild, so I hope you get a robust response. For my collection, 100% of the coins are in 2x2s or slabs and the only slabbed coins are ones that came that way when I bought them and haven't (yet) freed them from their tombs. For me, the value of the coin doesn't determine the storage medium. Keep in mind though that my current area of focus is on medieval coins rather than, for example, high-grade modern US coins.

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1762 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 2:18 pm I use Quadrium square coin capsules for most of my "good/expensive/keeper" coins. The quadrums are contained in 2x 20 pocket ENCAP 3 ring binder pages. I purchase them from my LCS or Lighthouse. (The 19 mm size fits cents.)

Bosstone100 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 02/23/2024 05:57 am Sorry to hijack the thread but those of you who store coins in 2x2s and pages in binders, do you also buy slip covers for the albums? Report this Post to the Staff
