Most of these are quite in demand anymore. Some enthusiasts like to proudly display their coins in archival folders, while others prefer air-tight capsules, or mylar-lined 2x2's. Whatever you choose, don't store yours in the PVC flips you often see on the marketplace. They are made from PVC which breaks down over time and destroys the piece it was to preserve. Should you buy coins already in such a sleeve, transfer it as quickly as possible to a better storage medium. You may consider acetate flips, but recognize that they are hard and might scuff the coin if isn't inserted and removed carefully. Although they are not air-tight, they are adequate alternatives for medium priced coins that will be "left alone" for many a long time.
This is for sure: regardless of wherever you decide to keep your coins, it'll always a source of permanent pride.
