Most of these are quite in demand nowadays. Some investors opt to proudly display their coins in archival folders, while others prefer airtight capsules, or mylar-lined 2x2's. Whatever you do, don't store yours in the soft flips you frequently find on the marketplace. They are made from polyvinyl chloride which breaks down in time and ruins the piece it was to protect. If you buy coins already in such a sleeve, transfer it ASAP to a better storage medium. You might consider acetate flips, but realize that these are brittle and might scratch the coin if it is not inserted and removed carefully. While they are not air-tight, they are adequate alternatives for medium priced coins that will be "left alone" for many years.
This is for sure: regardless of how you decide to keep your coins, it'll forever a source of permanent pride.
