How do you store your CRH finds/coin collection?

[Ghondi]

I'm new to CRH...had collected when I was a kid...*skips a long story*

How do you all store your collections?
Plastic tubes?
Cardboard folds?
Albums*what brand*?
Slabs?
Have them graded?
Don't store them, CRH and sell them?
Any others*DETAILS*?

I use small envelopes and cardboard folds for right now...looking for a better way to store and display them...not to mention I think cardboard folds look cheesy and sloppy...

So, what do you all use?
Any recommendations?

I use plastic tubes. Shop around for the cheapest...... sometimes it's eBay and sometimes it's a coin supply place.

Personally, all of the regular silver is wrapped in the coins wrappers I get from the banks....labeled and stored in penny boxes.

The Walkers and the coins I buy are stored in the little square cardboard coin holders which are keep in clear plastic sheets of 20 slots for these cardboard holders which are kept in a 3 ring binder.

I use a variety:

Circulated proofs - plastic tubes
40% - paper rolls
Duplicate 90% - paper rolls

I keep one of every date and mintmark of the walkers, benjis and kennedys and what I use for these is:

Walker - blue Whitman folder
Benjamins - blue Whitman folder
Kennedys - brown Dansco album (has the sliding plastic window for viewing obverse and reverse). The best of the kennedys I find go in here, including the circulated proofs.

It's probably easier if I answer this by denomination -

Pennies - Most wheats go in plastic tubes of like years. Anything with a value of $1 or more goes in a cardboard 2x2. Indians go in a blue Whitman folder.

Nickels - War nickels go in plastic tubes as well as 1938's & 1939's. I only save a handful of pre-1960 dates but they go in tubes too. Buffalos go either in one of two Whitman folders I'm trying to fill or they're put in cardboard 2x2's. Liberty nickels also go in a Whitman folder.

Dimes - Silver Roosies go en masse into a plastic tube. Mercs are put into a Whitman folder.

Quarters - A communal plastic tube.

Halves - 40% & 90% JFK's go in a plastic tube till I have 20, then they're put into paper rolls. Full rolls are placed in cigar boxes. Bens, regardless of year, are put in tubes unless a coin is a better example for my main set. Same goes for Walkers. Barbers always get the 2x2 treatment.

Canadian: Duplicates congregate in a plastic cup in a desk drawer. Once I get a full roll they go into plastic tubes. The only exception is if they fill a hole in my Whitman folders (pennies, nickels or dimes). Quarters, halves, dollars and two dollars all get 2x2's since no folders fit them.

Foreign: Always gets a 2x2, unless it's a duplicate in year and denom. I have two, double-row boxes full of foreigns in 2x2's.
