Coin holder advice

[Anomalocaris]

Hello all,

Very casual coin collector looking to start filling out some of the basic series with coin roll hunting just to see what I can find. Anyone have any advice on good coin holders? Looking for something secure when stored but easy to place and remove, no PVC, shows both sides of the coin.

I use folders but you can't see the reverse. If that is important to you use Dansco albums. They are nice.

Dansco are very nice for a COLLECTION, however, also very expensive when compared to the old style blue folders.

I like Dansco and Intercept Shield albums. These CAN be picked up cheaply sometimes (with the exception of the 7070 Dansco Type Set album**, runs $40+ on eBay); check with a local coin shop to see some of their selection on these: I am actually in the process of upgrading my folders to nicer albums.

My LCS sells used Dansco albums for $5-10 each (**and I lucked out and got a used 7070 Type album for $10 from there once too...)
