Hope this is the right area to ask. I am looking to store some low end cents. I have some brand new looking 60's cents, common spike heads, die cracks etc. they are worthy to me not to be thrown in a box somewhere. What do you use to store these type of coins?

If you have enough duplicate date/mm examples, hard plastic coin tubes are great. If it's a "mixed bag", I would put each in a 2x2, labeled appropriately, and store them in the cardboard 2x2 boxes (size/qty depending on how many you have).
On the bit more expensive and space-hogging side, you could arrange them in binders & 20-pocket pages for easy viewing and sorting.

Never liked what they charge for shipping,sorry. Check the bay or Amazon. 2x2 staple type flips or 2x2 envelopes. Tubes as mentioned. Boxes for 2x2,they make boxes just for them but any box will do. Binders and pages to fit them. For the nicer coins,Air-Tite capsules.Check around for the best price,ex;2x2 staple type 100 for $4.Buy in bulk it is cheaper. John1  |

Rolls for things in quantity, 2x2s for things that are unique. |

Shipping cardboard boxes can get expensive, so if you are bored and eat a lot of crackers... http://goccf.com/t/289617 detailed insstructions  |

I like the plastic tubes. Does anyone use the smaller 1.5x1.5 cardboard holders. I think you can fit 30 per plastic sheet rather than 20 per plastic sheet as with 2x2s and they are less expensive for my pennies that are valued at 1 cent.

Vote for 2x2s, that way you have space to (carefully, neatly) write down what is unique about each coin.
If you handwriting is like mine, just put a code# (lce001) on each 2x2 and then use a spreadsheet to describe the coin in detail.

I have never used them, but they are seem to be popular with dealers at the coin shows. I think they are a good idea for smaller coins. |

Or you could simply order blank Cent pages for Albums. Then using the holes made for the Album, use almost anything to make your own Album for just those coins.
Or order a blank Album cover too.

I use the 1.5 x 1.5 mainly for foreign coins and like that I can get more on a page, I put them in regular 3 ring binders.
