Many of these are extremely popular anymore. Some collectors prefer to proudly showcase their coins in archival folders, while others like air-tight capsules, or mylar-lined carboard. Whatever you choose, don't store yours in the PVC flips you often find in the market. They are made from polyvinyl chloride which breaks down in time and ruins the coin it was intended to preserve. If you purchase a coin already within such a sleeve, transfer it as quickly as possible to something better. You may consider Mylar, but realize that they are hard and may scratch the piece if isn't inserted and taken out with care. While they aren't airtight, they are alternatives for medium value coins that will be "left alone" for numerous years.
This is certain: regardless of where you decide to keep your coins, it will forever a source of never-ending pride.
