I got myself 2006-W BU silver eagle, 1/4 2006-w BU golden eagle, and SF old mint BU gold and silver coins. I am planning to accumalate BU silver and golden eagles and comm $5/10 gold and S1 silver coins in the coming years. I believe they will come in capsules. Is there a modest pricing way to storage them? I have a safe at home. I checked Lighthouse boxes. They are quite expensive ($20 a box). Thanks!

I store mine in empty pringles boxes (the long tall round container that the chips come in)nothing fancy but I don't look at these coins often so it is sufficient for me

I store my coins in a transparent files of an album used for business cards.

But I don't know if there is a problem with that or not?

This post is strange. Not sure of why someone would purchase very expensive coins and then worry about a cheap method of storage. Sort of like buying a Ferrari and leaving it outside because not wanting to spend the money on a garage. If these coins are slabbed in a plastic type container, just put the slab in a shoe box. This is also a very safe place for valuable coins. Most robbers don't want to steal a pair of shoes.
