I've been collecting coins for years, but honestly I haven't invested much into proper storage units for them. I've got a bunch of coins (most part just circulated and basic condition silvers and wheat pennies) among other stuff that I keep within hard plastic separators, while my more value coins (semi key dates, XF, AU quality) within plastic wraps.
I've been told that plastic is not good for these coins, but I've kept them in there for some time and have not seen any degradation. In addition to that, they are wrapped individually and tightly within my plastic separators so they don't actually get damaged with physical contact and are pretty safe from air exposure.
How do people store coins when they amass large quanitities of it? I've acquired a few nice pieces over the months and I don't want them to degrade and lose value. If these plastic things are slowly damaging them, I will look for new and efficient replacements even if it means spending a decent amount of money.
What do you guys suggest? I will try posting pictures eventually.
