I want to avoid tarnishing at all costs What are my options for storing?
Comment from : @Carterofmars

Any particular brand of cardboard 2x2’s you recommend? Just getting started and I have a couple coins of sentimental value I want to prioritize and not sure how many of the cardboard ones have PVC in the plastic covering

I've always liked Dansco albums, however many coins in my mercury dime collection became heavily toned Any suggestions to avoid this in the future?

Comment from : @danielhughes396

Is there no cardboard boxes with 3 or 4 rows that hold slabs ?
Comment from : @May0r0fp0undtwn

I use pliers to flatten the staples The cardboard flips are my favorites for that reason

Funny I just Commented on one or more recent videos and here a stumble across the video that answered my question thank you again for your time
Comment from : @josephc6991

Hi Ben, good topic on this video Will the hole spacing on the slab holder sheets allow them to fit in a 3 ring binder? Thx
Comment from : @Calamiti999Fine

Nice overview You could probably do a whole video about taking the 2x2 to the next level with plastic cases like the Lighthouse Quadrum, Guardhouse Tetra and BCW snap cases Lighthouse makes the ENCAP Q52 plastic album pages that will hold 20 of any of these per page

I use many types but a favorite when traveling is the school 3 ring binder that zippers closed Very incognito, looks just like a kids school supplies Great Video

Great Video
Comment from : @Jim-re3sr

What about Igc and anacs as well it’s best to buy a universal box because I have several different slabs from different companies including older pcgs ngc and anacs and igc
Comment from : @JusZard

Ben do you recommend Intercept Shield protection cases that hold slabs by NGC, PCGS, ANACS, etc??
Comment from : @fernandorivera2395

very informative, thank you, well done!
Comment from : @martin-fc4kk

You forgot to mention that ANACS graded coins fit perfectly in PCGS plastic storage boxes
Comment from : @everettbradley3901

I take pliers and smash down the staples round ends and they are nice at that point Slide right in the box
Comment from : @jeffrummell2348

I bypassed it all I measured all 4 slabs and came up with a universal box and mine now and I can go bigger holds 6 wide 6 deep 36 total and can go smaller or bigger depending on what is needed and it was cheap and easy !
Comment from : @dougm370

When and is it good to use coin capsules ? I’m buying for the long haul
Comment from : @LuC1800

I use the slab pages to keep a type set The 4 page binder (36 slabs) is better than the 6 page 54 slabs I have both For reasons Ben noted I find the smaller less bulky and cumbersome I like that set up a lot, but they are pricy I paid 45 bucks and 70 respectively
Comment from : @tim1883

Good, informative video I learned a few things reading the comments, also I like that your videos are nice and calm, you don't come out screamin' and hollerin' like some of these guys on here!

I have 1 pound 1983 queen elizabeth 2 Im selling this coin from the philippines
Comment from : @abotchua2924

Excellent video On the staples in flips, they do make staplers that result in flat staples, not curved OR you can simply take a short 1/2-inch metal rod and use it as a punch to lightly hammer flat the staples I would not recommend using a hammer without the rod as you could accidently miss and hammer the coin inside
Comment from : @Car1Sagan

Nice
Comment from : @nasirhusainsmansuri9990

That’s a good tip thanks 😊
Comment from : @ronaldoseradilla3570

I've bought the individual "slab pages"usually 3-5 in a packand just put them in a 3 ring binder rather than the fancy one being soldcan also stack the pages in a safe or fire box
Comment from : @johnwachter6369

Great details, highly informative
Comment from : @rbartig

Thorough demonstration, very nice
Comment from : @flybone100

Are tubes good for raw coin storage?
Comment from : @pawpatrolnews

For long term storage, I use a mylar flip, heat sealed, and a card in the other opening of the flip for identification Works nicely
Comment from : @maxshiraz3447

The NGC box I have only holds 14 coins!!
Comment from : @danielmurray7812

Ben should proof coin holders be kept in the type holders you showed or would proof coins require other type holders for long term storage? brbrMy coins are mostly proofs, that are associated with significant family dates/events/themes; most of those coins are stored in air-tote holders or the hard flips brbrIt’s early in my collecting goal and I haven’t decided on an appropriate theme set, because all the dates or type of coins are like helter skelter brbrThanks you friend for the video It helped me a lot
Comment from : @everettwhite9874

I have the quadrum 2x2's I really enjoy Can display them in the Lighthouse velvet style drawers that stack Very neat and clean!
Comment from : @taylorism5613

With staples, if you flatten them with some pliers they won't hang up on things and won't scratch
Comment from : @Pacificstacker

Why didn’t you talk about Airtites? Are you tired of opening them when they get brought into your shop or something? I bet a lot of us use those so I’m surprised you didn’t talk about them
Comment from : @boudreauxish

Great overview of storage options Thanks!
Comment from : @don951

What about coin cabinets? And to the graded coin box problem, I just use PCCB boxes, that can hold all types of slabs :)
Comment from : @ineedhelpsoon

Hi Ben - How about humidity control - silica bags, dehumidifiers, Intercept Boxes or Holders would be a good adjunct video brGreat info as always thanks
Comment from : @Proudfather7

Great information
Comment from : @officeguy3

Really like the Dansco albums Have even posted a video on my Dansco collection Keep other coins in archival flips Nice video Thanks
Comment from : @ScottUrbach

What do you think of paper envelopes for coins?
Comment from : @kevinsmit432

I watched a vid by KGUN9,The Morning Blend,featuring none other than,Ben,the Coingeek👍
Comment from : @667hodge

Awesome information Ben
Comment from : @00_BUCK_671

How come you didn’t show Plastic airtights?brI think most of us probably use those
Comment from : @tylonnplatinumthe3rd659

On the cardboard flips, I always flatten the staples with pliers so they won't scratch other coins
Comment from : @johnskujins8870

Another option Ben : On Amazon there is a 36-42 coin wall display for slabbed coins about $75 It does have a lock brWell made and I own 2 of thembrGreat way to display and show coins but a low security option
Comment from : @tylonnplatinumthe3rd659

If you take a straight exacto knife you can slice out the thin pieces of plastic down in the slots of a NGC box so it will fit PCGS slabs Takes about 5 minutes or so Maybe a video on coin collection storage as a whole Safes, fire boxes, safe deposit boxes etc
Comment from : @beverwyck1

No mention of air tights?
Comment from : @TheOutdoorInc

I live in a humid area after moving from high desert- are waterproof ammo boxes okay for storage? I keep slabs in there and anything unslabbed in cheesecloth I'm in a hurricane zone and just went through Sally- if I gotta move fast my scene needs to be highly portable and stashable in a vechicle
Comment from : @GardenerEarthGuy

Coin geek The guardhouse aluminum 50 slab cases are my absolute favorite It holds both pcgs and ngc with foam inside It has a glass top My favorite At 50 coins its not as heavy and they have two clamps to secure top to bottom of case Awesome container better than the plastic ones of pcgs or ngc but they are second best
Comment from : @doughensley6202

Love it
Comment from : @coloradocoinhunter6475

"It helps if I hit record" 😆 Been there Nice overview of coin storage and display options I think I have seen generic coin slab boxes being sold at shows that hold both types of slabs Am I right about this? or did I dream that?
Comment from : @Ontario100

Very nice and educational video I like the coin albums, and I just stack my slabs on each other in my safe
Comment from : @limaechonumismatics

Glad you mentioned getting kids involved, that's a good way to keep the coin hobby going Very good video on coin holders
