raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 3:26 pm Hello Everyone, I know the 2x2 coin holders are a standard way to store your coins. But, what about the Air-Tite holders that seem to better protect the coin from outside elements? Are the Air-Tites in keeping the coin "air tight" slowing the natural toning of the coins? I know cost is a factor, but which is better excluding cost? I was just wondering what the community thinks/prefers, Thank you for your input.

A cabinet for my best coins, it holds about 1200, linder trays for my roman denari and coin envelopes for everything else.

The flip should not "bow" into a curve but it should be flat enough to seal off any air. It helps if it's stuck in a binder page for extra sealing. Airtites I would imagine are better at this but I hardly ever use them because of A)cost and B)space. Report this Post to the Staff
