I'm using the Coin World Premier Coin Holders for all my coins now, regardless of value. Running about $1.30 US for each coin, that's holder at $1.09, $0.16 to ship, and $0.02 for a nice label I make up using Avery office labels No. 8195 and their downloadable Word template. They are almost exactly like the PCGS coin holders. Jake's Marketplace.com seems to be the best price. The Crown size holders are their 34P, with 19P and 20P the next size smaller and larger for the non-British and Empire Crowns.
I'm not using albums for storage, just boxing them in slab boxes, they run $6.00 and hold 30 slabs.
They certainly do make for an attractive display, the coin is fully visible, both sides, and no reflection like the mylar flips. The Avery label has room for four lines of text, which for me is Country and KM No., then Denomination and Year, then Mint and Mintage, and lastly composition, like .925 fine .4578 Troy Oz. Silver, or Bronze, that kind of information. I don't put any grades on them, if I do it will be a little sticker on the reverse of the holder.
I was using mylar flips in double row boxes, just got tired of them. They reflect light and to view the back of the coin I would have to open the flip since it was double thickness folded over, and they were slick and oily feeling.
