How To Store/Showcase New Collection

Sound like an obvious case of Hobby attention disorder.
Not to worry, other than lighter pockets, it isn't fatal (depending on your wife)
However, it does seem to be highly contagious

It does sound like a good theme though.
I would agree, flips in the pocket pages.
I would say get D ring binders though, as the normal round ring bind could damage the 2x2's or possibly the coins.

Explanation---when the pages are put into a ring binder, they have the tendency to follow the ring. thus, sliding under them causing damage.(at the rings)
It happens more frequently when books are over filled, or in the large ring books.

I too have a hugh pile of foriegn coins. Most have been placed in appropriate sized 2x2's. A few are to large so they just went into plastic flips. Then the 2x2's are placed in those plastic sheets that hold 20 2x2's. I attempted to place them in those pages by country so that each country has separate pages from others. Then by size per page so that the smallest coins are at the beginning. These plastic pages go into 3 ringed binders, put on a book shelf.
I've also got a large quantity of them in 2x2's in those Whitman Red Boxes for 2 rows of 2x2's due to I've got no idea or what they are, where they are from, etc.
This all started a long time ago. The organizations I've worked at usually have people from all over the world and I always make it known I collect coins. This usually gets me a lot of free coins from all over the world. People usually tell me what they are and where they are from but by the time I get home, that is usually forgotten so into the 2x2's for now.

I like the 2x2 sheet pages myself, that way each time you open the binder 20 coins the obverse and reverse are there for the viewing and showing.

Use 2x2 sheet pages.

can anyone recommed a manufacturer of folders/inserts/2x2s? I'm a brand new collector, just spent money on the Numis system, only to find they use PVC in the pages, so am looking for something a bit safer.
