How Do You Store Your Commemoratives?

I take mine out of their OGP and put them in lock & lock containers that I got off of QVC. These containers are airtight and water proof. Then I tie a piece of rope around it and go out to the back yard. I built the wife a koi pond about 5 years ago and it's pretty deep in the back. I drop in the lock & lock and I tie the rope around the foot of St. Francis who watches over the koi.

I met a uy last weekend at the coin show that wraps his in tin foil and puts them in his freezer in the basement. He says crooks would never think to look in there.

I take the coins out of the package and put commemoratives in a safe. Storing them with the original government packaging takes up too much space in my safe. I just put all the packaging in a box and store it away.

I use a waterproof boating storage box. It's essentially heavy duty Tupperware that I can throw a lock on so that my 4 year old son won't play with my collection.

I suppose I'll eventually have to make room in the safe for my ASEs and proof sets, but they really aren't worth that much right now.

Tim...absolutely! That's the type of case that I use for my commens, ASE's, ML's, Gold, Silver, etc. I have them all in air tites. I think the 38MM is ok for most commens that are in air tites but, if you put them into 2x2's you'll need the 41MM trays - the 2x2's don't fit into a 38MM tray - atleast not mine!

ps: ASE's are 40.6MM and most Commens run around 38MM to 41MM. Yes, where did you get that case (or going to)? Very nice one!

I noticed I was running out of room for coins so I gave all my commens away. Now a lot more room.

I don't keep my coins in the mint packaging, although I do save the packaging in case I ever need it. I store the coins in airtites inside a toolbox. I'm using one of those craftsmans with the multiple drawers sliding on ball bearings, it was on sale. I like it because I have easy access to the coins I like to look at frequently. When space gets tight, I'm going to buy another box, they come in sets like stackables. When I'm not around I keep it locked. This works real well for me.
