EY_Pep Valued Member Canada 123 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 12:31 pm I need to store several AU coins temporarily (1-2 weeks) until I have a chance to buy more pages for my Numis Album. Currently they are loose in a Ziploc bag and I am worried about the coins scratching each other in bag. Is this an issue or will they be alright? If this will cause them to scratch/scuff each other, how should I store them temporarily? Report this Post to the Staff

EY_Pep Valued Member Canada 123 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 12:41 pm Unfortunately, no coin tube available! Would dropping them into the tube onto each other scratch/scuff them? I guess my other question is...will they scratch/scuff each other? Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 1:14 pm I think you are in Toronto....Arcade Coin sells tubes I think. They are in an office building on King st E right near Young....3rd floor. They also sell bulk 2x2s for storage. I would call first. I don't think an AU coin will come to much trouble in a tube (or for that matter in a bag if you keep it still), but I would be careful with MS coins. And don't touch the surfaces of the coins with your fingers while moving them around! Report this Post to the Staff
EY_Pep Valued Member Canada 123 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 1:53 pm Thanks Papeldog & Smallcentguy Actually, I realized they are MS coins - I'm still quite new to grading...since most of my collection is not worth grading. I know not to touch them, since I have already made that mistake before...luckily not on anything valuable. Since I won't have a chance to go to Arcade Coin or any other coin shop until next week I think I'll just lay them flat on a piece of paper and cover them with another piece of paper in a safe place. Hopefully this 'safe place' will not get pushed off the table or collect unwanted moisture. Report this Post to the Staff
