I don't think that ICCS has ever dealt with coins stored like that.

Petersun,

At one time I had my entire collection in air-tites. Although I knew they would be protected, it was frustrating not being able to see them displayed. So I cracked them all out of the air-tites and put them in 2x2 mylar flips, then inserted them in the 20 pocket plastic pages in a 3-ring binder. I am so much happier having done this. I can flip through page after page of my coins and not have to hunt for them the way I used to do when I wanted to see them. I bought nickel holders for all my cents, dimes & nickels, and quarter, half & silver dollar sizes for the rest.

I used to go with mainly 2x2 cardboard flips, but now I use mainly PVC-free clear 2x2 flips with a paper insert to write the info on. Better for long term storage, reusable and no annoying staples (or staple scratches).

There are self-adhesive 2x2's on the market, like these ones:

The clear 2x2 flips mentioned staple free are a pocket for a coin and a pocket for a card folded in the middle.
(4x2, coin pocket one side card on other side folded in half)
I don't have one here or I would shoot a picture. All mine are full of coins to cccs
ICCS uses 2.5"x2.5" flips after grading, same idea.

for a while I kept my pennies in a plastic container meant for wiper blades, until I dropped them one day , what a mess. Now I keep them in plastic sleeves.

The flips I use are double pocket 2x2 flips that look like the picture below. They come with 2x2 paper inserts for writing the info on. SafeT flips is one maufacturer of these. PVC-free, so they are rather brittle and will crack break with use, but are perfect for long term storage.
