I just recently bought this silver Iraq coin. It was actually in an "NNC graded" slab. I broke it out due to not wanting people to think it was really graded as such. How should I now store this coin? It is not the same size as any US coins. Thanks for the help.

I would put it in a half dollar sized cardboard 2x2.

I agree- half dollar sized cardboard 2x2. Or, you could use a non-plasticized (non-PVC) 2x2 coin flip.

Does your local coin shop sell small dollar 2 X 2 holders? That size comes up a lot for me, bigger then a quarter but the coin doesn't flop around in a half holder.

If you do go with the half dollar sized flip, just staple as close to the coin but on the cardboard. This will help keep in place.

If it is a valuable coin, you might also measure it and get a lighthouse plastic capsule in the right mm diameter. They have just about every mm size available.
