Best Storage Methods

How you store your coins has a lot to do with how you collect them.
If it is a date set or type set, with coins in less than unc., perhapps a push in album is best.

That system would be irrelevent to some. Certainly that is the case for me. My collection is diverse, from ancient to modern. Each coin is individual, and together, express the aim of the collection as a whole.

I use mylar 2x2's in archival quality album pages. That allows me to write the attribution information for each coin on the holder. Such a systwm allows me re arrange my collection in whole or part, as the need arises. The attribution information moves with the coin.

A few of my more valuable coins are stored separately from the main body of the collection, in a small safe.

The best method, if you are worried about protection will probably not be the best method if you are more concerned about viewing. The seem to counter each other.

For protection, I would use single coin holders such as air tites or Coin World premier slabs. These slabs would be stored in a container that contains some silica gel packets (if necessary in the area you live) and some copper cents to attract contaminants. All of this is housed in double layer Ziploc bags and stored in a cool dry place.

Now, reading what I wrote above does not allow for easy presentation. For presentation I would choose Dansco albums as my first choice, then 2x2's in archival pages as a 2nd choice (more flexibility). And store these on a bookshelf for easy access.

I agree with sel_69l. How you collect will to some point drive how you will be able to store. If you are asking on how to protect against toning, etc then go with the first method above.

I agree, those who frequently upgrade their coins may be burdened by Dansco and other similar albums. I do not do upgrades, so the Dansco albums have served me well.

most all of my coins that are not in sets are in air-tites. I bought a Dansco Album with blank pages then cut the holes out larger so I could house my MS Peace dollar collection in the air-tites and in a Album.
Other sets are in Dansco Morgans, Franklins, and Mercury dimes. Also my classic half dollar commemsand my 7070 type set are housed in Dansco Albums.
My Indian Head cent set is in a Littleton album, while my Barber haalf dollar set is in a U.S. Mint Harris album.
Walking liberty and Buffalo nickles reside in intercept shield Albums as is my ASE date set.
Kennedy half set from 1964 through 2010 is in a Dansco, its a P.D.S. and Silver proof set.
The only coins I can see a change in are the ones in the U.S. mint Harris album, they seem to be toneing somewhat.
And far as Air-tites go I think they offer good protecton and you can still handle and look at your coins without causing damage, you can even dro a coin and it wont get hurt.

Usually not covered in these discussions is for how long are you planning on preserving your coins. Also, as already noted, viewing makes substantially great methods of protection difficult. To put coins in air tights, then in 2x2's, then in those plastic 20 slot pages, then in a binder and finally in Zip Lock Bags will certainly help preserve any coins. However, if you want to change one, lots of irritations. Showing them to others too, makes all that difficult.
As to length of time to protect your coins, as you get older and older, you start to think why am I doing all this. Your sort of doing it for someone else that eventually will get all. I always remember a car I had that I put seat covers on the first day I got the thing. After a few years I sold that car and the seats looked brand new. I never saw them until I sold the car. So who did I save those seats for anyway? Kind of what we all do with our coins. Keep them as nice as possible for someone else.
I put almost all my coins in Albums. Then in Zip Lock Bags. Hopefully someone, someday will appreciate that.
