We've found over the years that a lot of coin storage accessories can actually harm you coins while they are being stored!  Usually this is because of the poor materials used in the coin holders, the coin albums, the coin album pages, and because of extreme environmental conditions.  Because of these problems we've been on the lookout, as collectors, for coin storage accessories that meet our demanding requirements.  Namely:

• No use of PVC or associated softeners
• No use of adhesives near coins
• Where possible a complete air tight seal around the coin

What we were searching for is a storage solution that was completely neutral, one that resulted in a coin coming out of storage the same way it went into storage.  Were possible we've identified existing products on the market that meet our demanding requirements.  Where no such product existed, or the existing products were too expensive or flawed we have decided to design and manufacture our own line of coin storage accessories.

The Purple Penny line of Numismatic Archival Accessories are manufactured from true archival grade materials.  In fact, they are made in the same factories as the storage solutions used by the National Archives of Australia and the National Film Archive of Australia.  When you buy a Purple Penny branded coin storage solution you know you're getting the best for your coins and coin collection.
