Coin protection

Hey guys. Just getting into this hobby and starting to do nickel coin roll hunting. I found some decent coins but need to protect them. Besides the whitman folders, what would you guys recommend?

If you are wanting to protect them, don't put them in folders.

I like Intercept Shield albums for my really nice coins and Dansco makes some pretty good stuff.

I like airtights for holding individual coins.

Folders will not protect the coins 100% (Can cause spotting and toning). If you want solid protection for a few years just as you found the coin, just buy 2x2 cardboard holders and staple them in there and organize as you wish.

If you're constantly upgrading, plastic flips are the easiest to work with.

You may find it worthwhile to use canned air to blow away any tiny cardboard particles from the inside of the 2x2 holder, before putting the coin in there. Don't just blow on them with your own mouth, or you will get tiny spit particles in there. That'll result in spots on the coin in the long term.

Tubes. They are cheap and hold 40 of them unless you want to put a complete set together.
