Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 06/23/2022 10:45 am I have a complete set of Presidential dollars in original US Mint packaging. I am wondering what is the best way to store them. Would it be be better to keep them in the US Mint packaging, place them in a Dansco album, or something else? Report this Post to the Staff

I prefer Dansco albums, but if you do not mind the original packaging, keep them there. Neither one is air tight and I do not believe either one has a preservation advantage over the other. That being said, any capsule based system would/should offer more protection from the environment than an album or the OGP can provide. However, albums and OGP kept in a controlled environment should hold up just as well, at least that is my experience.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98853 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 3:14 pm I'm doing both - one set in OGP and another I'm cracking out to put in my Dansco albums. I'm using my Albums as a source of reference - if I need to look at a coin somebody is asking about - out comes that album to compare it to. Faster than searching on the net. Collecting since 1972.
