I store my coins in small mylar sleeves and then placed into 2x2 paper envelopes with the coin info written on it.

If your not willing to have it graded, I think something with more protection (from other stored coins) than a 2X2.. I'd go with an airtight..

"Dansco or other Coin Album."

The only raw coins I want to buy are ones to fill those final Dansco holes.

I voted for air tight .... unless it was a large cent (or Half Cent) then I would use a knit-pouch inside a 2x2 paper envelope.
Rest in Peace

I'd have it graded. Depending on how long it would take me to get enough for my next submission I would use either a 2x2 or a Saflip in the mean time.

I selected "Other; Please list below."
I would not spend $300 on a coin unless it were already slabbed.
And I would keep it slabbed.
Rest in Peace

I agree with kanga. With the prevalence of cleaned coins I'd get it already NGC or PCGS.

I'm a bit more adventuresome. I buy raw currency all the time worth more than $300.

All my coins go into Albums. I don't collect plastic, only coins so no slabs at all.

If I was to buy a raw coin it would be to fill a void in one of my albums.

Almost every one of my 3,000+ coins that are not slabbed are kept in AirTites - even coins that don't warrant the expense.
