I don't really collect coins as much as accumulate them, but as I have a bunch of rather nice-looking domestic coins that are 60-110 years old, I'd like to find a storage solution that's a bit more refined than the current "camera film canisters and an old Ananas candy tin" situation. I went a-BingTMing and came to a rather surprising conclusion: there is absolutely no loving way to safely store coins while still being able to look at them every once in a while! Every resource I could find basically said: coin holders with adhesive make the coin gray in a few decades, coin holders without adhesive (i.e. ones you staple shut) let air in and the coins get dirty in a few decades, clear plastic pockets - or album pages containing the same - loving disintegrate the coin, and hard plastic "pills" wear down the coin. Small acid-free paper envelopes - as used by museums - were the only storage option no expert could find fault with. The photographic evidence of all this was actually perfectly convincing, but I'm wondering if manufacturers these days don't just use better-suited materials? I mean for a coin to acquire a horrible layer of green poo poo inside a holder in thirty years, the holder has to be at least thirty years old. Any ideas? I'm thinking big name-brand (Leuchtturm is the only one I recognize) stapled holders.

They're not trying to make money out of Fallout silver in 2020 after Trump nukes Ohio, they're trying to make money out of idiot Youtubes right now.

I probably have some Hitler-era German postage stamps, but as far as I remember, I don't have any Hitler head stamps. (Or if I do, they're somewhere in the "haven't looked through" boxes.) e: I've never collected German stamps but I've inherited a few collections.

Just remembered a dude trying to sell Hilti washers on Facebook Marketplace as antique or vintage tokens.
