I see the vast majority of coins in dealer shoppes are encased in those little square cardboard stapled flips. When you buy them like that, how are you suppose to store them? Do those flips have a plastic or mylar film over them? How do you protect those type encased coins from being damaged?

They have a Mylar cover and it is best to remove the coin very carefully, so as not to scratch it on a staple. Buy some safety flips and store the coins in them. The safety flips are a harder plastic and once folded may break if you keep folding and unfolding it. The soft plastic flips have PVC in them to make them more pliable, but the PVC breaks down in time and the green slim it makes, can eat a coin. The problem with stapled holders is the staples may damage other coins, that have a different size hole, if the are stored together tightly. Also if you store the holders in the 20 per page 2x2 coin pages they mark up the pages and they are not reusable or look real bad afterwords. Hope this explains storage for you, if not Email me. Most coins I buy come in either cardboard stapled holders, or soft PVC flips and I have to take them out. Dealers need a cheap way of displaying while giving the coins a little safety.
