My preferred choice for coin protection is by Smith & Wesson... Oh wait, you were asking about coin storage. :)
The safest method of coin storage I have seen are those little sewn felt pouches placed inside acid-free paper envelopes. I don't know were to get the pouches, but the acid-free paper envelopes are easy to find via Google. The second safest is the "non"-PVC flip (however they do have a small amount of plasticizer, so they aren't completely PVC-free). If you want to go high-end, you could get yourself an Abafil coin case (www.coin.com) and store your coins in it... All storage types have some drawbacks (for instance, the coins slide around a little in an Abafil case, over time causing wear; the non-PVC flips can scratch coins and are brittle; etc.)
