1954siel Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 09:38 am What is the best method for storing Silver Eagles? 1) Air tites with the little rings around them 2) Dansco Books 3) Snap fit square air tites? Not heres another question, or a two part question. If you put them in the air tites with the rings around them, where do you store them? Are there special books for them, or do you stack them away in a drawer? Report this Post to the Staff

COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 4:07 pm I use the direct-fit airtites in an album, works very well for me and has room for the full set.

COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 5:07 pm They are made by air-tite I believe they run about $20.00 or there about. That's with the pages and doesn't include the air-tite holders themselves. Report this Post to the Staff

COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 07/14/2008 01:12 am Well if you find that pick me up one as well! The '95's were produced at Philly with the exception of the 1995 W which was a proof coin, not Unc like the ones that are burnished W's in '06, '07, and '08 Report this Post to the Staff
spotco2 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 01:43 am For bullion SAE's, I just use some old military surplus canisters. They are plastic with a threaded cap and o-ring for a seal. They hold about 86 or 87 and are a perfect fit. They weigh about 6 lbs full, so they are pretty easy to handle. I think I paid about $15 each for them a few years ago. I have filled several but have a couple more to go :) Report this Post to the Staff
spotco2 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 01:45 am I forgot to mention that for the nice coins I use airtites and they stack nicely in a green box right along side of the tubes. Report this Post to the Staff
Kabiye_Lady Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 03:59 am I recently discovered the albums Coinaholic has. I'm seriously considering them. You can get them for about $17, then there's the air-tites. I'm thinking more for "regular" collections. If you have coins up to half-dollar size, the album will hold 54 coins. 54 coins doesn't sound like much, but that covers quite a few sets including: Franklin Sacs + SBA in same album (including proofs) Ikes - Gotta drop one or two out as the silver dollar one only holds 30 coins.... Walker short set ('41- '47) Peace dollars A Year Set of Morgans Libert Standing quarters The Silver Roosies ('46 - '64 with room for proofs '58 - '64) This all at the same cost of a dansco with ultra-superior protection.

COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 12:19 pm As an added bonus the albums being the same size dimensionally you can mix and match the pages, order them the way you want them,(except Statehood Quarter album) I have my mint mark set of Morgans(5) Peace dollar set(5)Ike set(10) Susie B's (18) filling one album, and a year set of Kennedys in another with room for future issues The fourth one contains commemorative halves, westward journey nickels, Buffalo coins, steel cents, Indian cents, Mercury dimes... well you get the point.

mopar74 Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 4:32 pm I use a combination of albums. Dansco for my BU Silver Eagles and the Air-Tite album (like Coinaholic) for my proofs. I also have the "W" Eagles in the Air-Tite. Works like a champ! Report this Post to the Staff
penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 5:39 pm I use air-tites but there are pages you can buy to put them in a 3 ring binder that I use, if I remember right each page holds 16 or 20 coins. I really need to find my camera so I can start posting pictures of what I am talking about. Report this Post to the Staff
