Many of these are very popular anymore. Some collectors opt to proudly display their coins in archival folders, while others like airtight capsules, or mylar-lined carboard. Whatever you choose, do not store yours in the soft flips you frequently find on the market. These are comprised of polyvinyl chloride which breaks down over time and destroys the piece it was to preserve. Should you buy coins already in one of these, move it as soon as possible to something better. You might consider acetate flips, but understand that they are hard and may scratch the coin if it is not placed and removed with care. While they are not air-tight, they're adequate alternatives for medium value coins that will be "left alone" for many a long time.
This is certain: regardless of where you decide to store your coins, it will always a source of permanent pride.
