meksmk New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 10:08 am I purchased my first 2 American Eagle coins recently and have been wondering about storage. Up to this point, my older coins I've been putting in good quality 2x2 flips and inserting by best ones into into nice sheathed 3 ring binders. I like that rather than boxes. Easier to show off. After a little research, I'm leaning toward Air-tites for the Eagles rather than 2.5x2.5 cardboard flips. But am having a hard time finding 3 ring binder pages other than the 2.5x2.5 for the cardboard flips. Do the Air-tites work with these binder pages? What do others do? Am I barking up the wrong tree trying to stick with the 3 ring binders? Are cardboard flips ok for the Eagles? Thanks in advance for any advice.

meksmk New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 10:25 pm I agree they should get well protected. So with a little more research I think I might found a combination that will meet both goals. I got some BCW Eagle dollar coin display slabs with white foam inserts. Like the ones that certified coins come in. Then with some looking, I found Lighthouse certified coin album pages that they will fit into and are made to fit in a 3 ring binder. Hopefully it all works together. Report this Post to the Staff

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 12:24 am I've got a sterling Onza and the two silver Maples in 2.5 x 2.5's. It's a bit of a space waste (9 per page capacity) but I use an UltraPro sheet for Baseball cards to store them in my binder. Report this Post to the Staff
Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 1:27 pm Yeah, I'd have to say slabs and slab sheets are probably the best way to go for you. You don't NEED air-tites and I'll guarandamteeya they won't stay in 2x2 binder sheets well (unless you store them carefully, sheet-open-side up and don't ever touch them - slippery little buggers). So yeah, slabs and slab sheets are a good way to go if you're looking to show off. But you should pick one up in a lower grade so you can handle it in your hands. That's even more impressive, to me! :) Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 06/07/2013 07:22 am If you are concerned about protecting the coins the capsule/air-tite is the way to go... If you lean more to displaying them then use whatever works...but the coin might tarnish (a.k.a "tone")over time..but...I like toned ASE's Report this Post to the Staff
