I've been slowly accumulating some rolls of different denominations, from cents to half dollars. I don't consider myself a roll collector, but I anticipate purchasing a few rolls here and there in the future. How do you all store rolls, ideally without damaging the end coins or the end wrapping?

I buy plastic coin tubes that are bigger than the rolls. Then add some surgical cotton ontop the rolls so when you screw the tops back on the tubes the rolls are tight in there and don't flop around.

Good to know, thanks Marv! Which brand of tubes do you use? Does the surgical cotton lead to toning?

It should not. If anything, it should act as a filter to slow any bad stuff getting in.

That makes sense. So we're talking cotton balls like this?
