whimsicalsleuth9 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 07:36 am Good Morning, I am pretty new to Canadian coin collecting. I have coins in little plastic bags I inherited from a relative and am seeking a safer way to store them. My American coins I am in the process of sticking them into air-tite coin capsules. My question is what is the best way to store my Canadian coins where they won't be harmed? I see from pictures people are putting them into the 2 x 2 mylar cardboard flips, do they keep them safe for a long period of time. Because I hear good and bad about those flips some safe, they will last years and others say they won't last past 6 months. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Charles Report this Post to the Staff

Whoever told you a 2x2 would only last six months obviously doesn't know what they are talking about. Report this Post to the Staff
