Storage

[mark1427]

Hey everyone alot of good info posted. I was wondering how do ya'll keep the coins that you are saving? Do you reroll them or just stacked in a bag or box.

This sounds very addicting to get into. Thanks for all the post made through out the board.

My 40%ers go into a plastic bucket - 90%ers go into nice plastic tubes. Clearly marked.

my best coins go into a album.

I've just got mine stored in cloth bags- separated in denominations-

I use the plastic tubes.

plastic tubes seperated by denomination and by type I seperate roosies/mercury and wl/ben/64. older stuff goes right to ebay. I've purchased some used blue ngc cases for my graded coins, my carded coins and all my Morgans and Eagles with I put snap plastic holders.

Plastic tubes. Nice coins go in flips and in a 3 ring binder. Going to try to fill some books some day.

I put my 40%'s in a box, my average circulation 90%'s (all denominations) into a miniature treasure chest, and the nice coins in plastic tubes or flips.

Im so new to this I still have mine in a plastic freezer zip lock bag. Figured I'd put all of the keepers in containers and keep em in my safe......store the 40% in my bag until I can sell when silver's up a bit.

Don't use those bags, since they have chemicals that can discolor the coins. For junk silver, it really doesn't matter, but it is best to keep your coins free of damage.

I use plastic tubes for junk, albums for my wheat cents, Kennedy halves, and pre-1960 Jeffs, and 2x2 for my foreign. My spare foreign go into boxes separated by country.

I've been using empty 180-count ibuprofen bottles made with #2 plastic (HDPE), not PVC.

 

[Generic_Lad]

Bulk silver (Bens/'64s/40%ers) go in plastic tubes, separated by denomination/purity.

Better condition coins get put in cardboard 2x2s

Medieval, ancient and odd-sized coins get placed in paper flips

bulk wheats go in ziplock bags (which I'm pretty certain doesn't have any PVC in it and should be coin-safe) but earlier wheats get placed in tubes and separated by decade

Early jeffersons that aren't war nickels get placed in a bag too

Plastic medical tubes. + Copper Cents go into a 5 Gallon bucket

a lot of members here catch and release, no need for storage. It keeps the hobby going for a longer period of time, as one member once said "catch and release"

I keep most in tubes although recently I got dansko albums for wheat cents and Jefferson nicks. It's pretty cool filling them up and I think I'm going to get one I can keep all my nicest silver finds in. Saw you could get individual pages for whatever denomination you want and I thought I'd start with a couple for large dollar's and one each for the rest.
