Love some of the stuff on show, any goons with a recommendation on the best containers to store coins in?

I've inherited a small collection, probably about 100-200 assorted coins, some in awful condition (aka plates of metal) and some in good condition, so I wanted to store them.

What holders are you guys displaying your coins in /who produces them? I'm reticent to just buy a no name book off Amazon that might damage the coins any further.

(UK Goon if it makes a difference)

Some new purchases;
some silver:


1 troy ounce poured bar


Provident Metals' second Privateer 2 ounce round


Goooooold. Birth year (pure luck) South African tenth ounce Krugerrand.

Thanks for that, I'll take a look at some of those sites.

In the mean time, I hit up a tiny little numismatics shop/museum run by an eccentric old guy in my town and he sold a bunch of coin holder wallet sheets for now, just so I can get the coins I inherited out of this lovely plastic tub they are all sat in. One of the cooler coins he had was a coin from Alexander the Great, think it was about 320BC (i'm bad at dates), most of the stuff was run of the mill, but hopefully he has some secret collection I will find one day.

In my first real dig into the box of coins I was left, I found 2 1964 Kennedy Halfs which I've heard are somewhat collectible/worth a couple of bucks, but they're both in poor/terrible condition, but hey, thats my first cool find in my new hobby.




I apologies for not have a beautifully polished / UNC coin to show, I will do at some point I hope!
