Coin Collecting Capsules?

Frank99

My apologies if there is a better section for this but after hearing about the oils in some coin albums damaging coins what is a better way to store them, i have wondered about plastic capsules like the ones silver coins from bullion dealers are sent in.
I have seen some from brands like Coin Gallery etc, does anyone know if storing 50p coins and £2 coins would avoid damage from oils and tarnishing in these capsules rather than albums?

I use the hard acrylic capsules for gold coins and they are essential to stop silver ones from tarnishing. Of course they also protect from scratches and scuffing. They are better than the envelopes where hard contact over years can leave deposits, especially if stacked. You can get the ones with foam gaskets to accommodate a greater range of sizes and stop them rattling

Yes, i have seen those with the foam inside to stop the rattling, i might get some of those!

If only i could go back in time, Bit-Coin and some certain pharmaceutical stocks might of been a good bet.
