Hi all!
I have been collecting euro coins (mostly commemoratives but some standards as well) for a while now. My collection has grown quite a bit, and so have the double coins that I keep for swaps.
A couple of years ago I purchased some plastic (PVC) loose album pages to keep my doubles organized and easily accessible, like these:

I was pretty satisfied with the result, because everything was properly sorted out and the loose pages let me arrange my coins as I wanted.
But then I got to know the harm that PVC does to coins, so I proceeded to take all my coins off the album pages and clean them from the sticky patina that the PVC was starting to form (especially on the ones that got placed on the album two years ago) with the help of acetone. It has been a dreadful process (circa 400 coins soaked and cleaned with cotton swabs one by one), but now I'm finished and I am looking for a new storage method for my coins. Right now I am storing them in cardboard boxes.
I would like to be able to see the coins at first glance so that I browse through them better, but I can't find loose album pages made of something else than PVC. Do such pages even exist?
I store my collection (not the doubles) in cardboard flips organized in album pages (PVC, but as long as my coins are in the flips it shouldn't be harmful), like this:

But I find it excessive (and expensive) to me to use flips for ALL of my doubles.
How could I store my coins? Can anyone suggest me something, maybe based on your experience?
Thank you a lot :)
