Coin Albums?

[Coppercrazy]

I am interested in starting an AU-MS indian head cent collection. Does it matter what folder I buy to keep them in, or are some better for the coins than others?

I would recommend a Dansco as one of the best quality folders for your money.

Dansco protects the coin the most. Yes, it's expensive, but worth the price.

As others have said, Dansco is one of the best. However, if you are interested in the best, then get an Intercept Shield album. They have the quality of a Dansco album but with the proven technology to preserve the coins for long-term storage. Intercept Shield ™ Archival Coin Albums Storage

These are what I use.

As a registry set participant and someone who spends big dollars on top pop coins it is my opinion that Dansco albums are the worst for protecting coins for long periods of time. A Dansco album will tone most coins to a terminal black state in a relatively short amount of time compared to other storage methods. My advice would be to store them in airtight containers placed in a food storage tupperware bin and i would also put in some silica packs to prevent the humidity. Keep them in a dry place where the temperature stays relatively the same, the storage method you choose will be very important if you plan on collecting IH cents due to the BN RB and RD designations.
