gonefishin Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 04/10/2007 8:30 pm How do you store your coins? Put them in plastic baggies, plastic boxes, styrofoam? What is the best way to store them and or display them w/o chemical rxns harming the coins? Report this Post to the Staff

madspec Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 04/10/2007 8:47 pm You can use either 2x2 holders,airtites, or an album. Then store those in a safe or bank vault, or a secure locked box if you do not have a safe. This way the coins are safer from air contamination and will not come together and add more marks and damage to circulated coins. madspec Report this Post to the Staff
TimJing Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 04/10/2007 8:54 pm I have an Intercept Shield folder for my Indian Head cents. They usually cost $35 but I got it for $20 at the flea market. The guy who sold me my 1909-S didn't want to see me put it in a cheap Whitman folder because he wanted my coin to not get damaged, so he practically threw in a really good folder to use. He told me the Intercept Shield folders absorb moisture to protect the coins from humidity (which we have a lot of here in Florida). I'm guessing there's some kind of embedded desiccant inside the walls of the folder, I don't really know, but that's all I can suggest using aside from what madspec already suggested.

tmor Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 04/19/2007 1:28 pm I like Dansco albums for circulated coins and Capital plastic holders for BUs. For single coins I use 2X2s for circs. and Air-tite for uncs. Report this Post to the Staff
