In my player collections, strive to keep same in primarily 9-pocket sleeves and 3" D-ring binders. Sometimes use the 1-2-3 pocket sleeves for larger items. I generally strive to keep cards in the same order as the TCDB database. There are a few items that are coins (generally late 1980's Topps). A little puzzled how to store these coins with the cards without causing indentations on the cards of neighboring pages. Suppose use of buffer filler pages before and after each coin page could be one approach. Or just store the coins separate at the end and use one buffer page. Don't know if there is some kind of coin storage cover or sleeve that will soften the impact of the coin edging. Just looking for ideas. Thanks.

I use a piece of luan plywood.  I cut it slightly smaller than a actual card, then I cut a hole out of the center with a bit.  The only draw back with this is the coin does float in the center, so sometimes it is crooked.  

Trade On!

I would suggest a binder or box of coins only

20 pocket coin pages are thicker plastic than 9 pocket card pages. They are fitted to hold the 2 x 2 paperboard coin flips. I use these for the Pinnacle Mint coins and even the Playoff Chip Shots. If you have to, cut a piece of paperboard to the size of the 9 pocket sheet and use a 3 hole punch. Use this as your divider.

I've used several options. the 2X2 cardboard coin flips usually fit into 35mm slide pages. They're usually 3 hole punched. The i've found were rigid plastic slide holders. i've also tried clear tubes and plastic card boxes. Still hoping for an ideal solution.

Thanks to all for their feedback on this topic. Very helpful. I now have a few options that I can explore.

When in doubt, just ask.

Print someting cool on buffer pages for both sides. put in the Cover Sheet 8.5 x11 sleeve. or possibly find a sportcard box cardboard in sleeve for deccor.

Sometimes I'll keep something in an 8x10 toploader in a sheet holder between the card page and the coin page, sometimes I just use a 9-pocket page filled with the cardboard decoys.  Anything to keep the disssimular items separated.  Coins will dent an adjacent card.

I, too, collect that Pinnacle mint coin set and have seen the difficulty sharing space in a box, but had not considered they and other coins could dent other cards in binders. I appreciate pointing that out and for sharing the ideas to circumvent that.
