Most of these are very in demand anymore. Some enthusiasts like to proudly display their coins in archival folders, while others like air-tight capsules, or mylar-lined carboard. Whatever you choose, don't store yours in the soft flips you often see on the marketplace. They are made from polyvinyl chloride which decomposes over time and ruins the coin it was to preserve. In the event you purchase coins already in one of these, transfer it ASAP to something better. You may consider Mylar, but realize that these are hard and may scratch the piece if it is not inserted and taken out carefully. While they are not airtight, they're adequate choices for moderate priced coins that will be "left alone" for numerous years.
One thing is certain: regardless of wherever you decide to store your coins, it'll always a source of permanent pride.
