basebal21 is right. Airtite holders are the way to go. I also use intercept shield 2 x2's for my Morgans but don't know if they come in ASE size. 2.5 x 2.5 cardboard is OK but they are a big coin and I think you would be better off with something stronger than cardboard. Just my opinion edgman   |

I would get 2.5 X 2.5 non-PVC flips.

Air tites are good for one, but if you have more than 1 and as much as 20 there are plastic containers sold that they fit into nicely. I have a few of them and they do yeoman's service to protect the goods.

If what you have is strictly bullion, you can get the tubes that ASEs come in for a couple bucks apiece at several internet coin shops. Each tube holds 20 coins. You can also get real US mint boxes that can hold individual raw ASEs for presentation for about 4 to 5 dollars each. Airtight capsules can be had with or without gaskets in a wide variety of sizes and in ASE size go for about a buck. You could also get one or more albums, one of the least expensive (per coin) ways to safely store your ASEs. I would probably opt for individual capsules but do what suits you best. |

Said tubes are generally free if you buy enough ASE's from your local bullion dealer. :) |

Well I want to p0ut this coin with my birth year set. I have them all in 2x2's but it is sounding like I might have to go to 2.5x2.5 for my birth year set...

As bullion storage, everyone had mentioned those flip/album/airtite options. However, if you like your ASE shiny and doesn't tarnish over time (99.99% silver is very easy to be tarnish) then you need to make sure the coin surfaces are evenly protected (airtite doing that job perfectly).... I bought a Dansco Album and since one of the slider didn't goes in straight.... so over time, the portion of the ASE that was not cover by the plastic slider got tarnished.... make sure you check those sliders when you put in and take out your ASE from the album. In the case of other flip, probably Interceptor Shield boxes will probably do the job since the box is coated w/ silver to intercept elements (from the air) that tarnishing the silver (hence the term interceptor). |

Airtites would be the best. If you don't mind toning then a cardboard flip or another method would be fine. One thing about an ASE you should know. For some reason these tone pretty easily and when they do they tone wildly so if you like colorful coins leave these out in the open air for awhile. |

All of my ASE's go in direct-fit airtites. Those are really nice. I ran out of them and have been too lazy to order more, so the extras I have accumuliated are lavishing in non-PVC flips. Most of my other coins are in 2x2's, sets, or in rolls. |

Quote:I've got my keeper/birthyear ASE in a 2.5x2.5 It would be interesting to see just who in this forum qualifies for a birth year ASE. :) I keep mine in the OGP. Even if/when I figure out what I'm going to do with the regular releases so that it takes up less space, I like the OGP for the sets (20th, 25th, 2012) enough to keep them there. |

I use the tubes as well. I have found that certain of my prescription medicines come in bottles that are just the right size as well.
