Lots of these are quite popular these days. Some collectors like to proudly display their coins in archival folders, while others prefer airtight capsules, or mylar-lined carboard. Whatever you do, don't store yours in the soft flips you often find on the market. These are comprised of PVC which decomposes in time and destroys the coin it was intended to protect. Should you buy coins already in one of these, move it as soon as possible to something better. You might consider acetate flips, but recognize that they are brittle and may scratch the piece if it is not inserted and taken out carefully. While they aren't airtight, they're reasonable choices for medium priced coins that will be "left alone" for numerous a long time.
This is certain: regardless of where you choose to store your coins, it'll forever a source of permanent pride.
