Saved up a few dollars and bought 2 boxes of 100 count coin tubes for the descent finds.
Added some cardboard to the bottom of the original box they came in and taped it up really good to support the tubes filled up.
I keep a limited amount of junk cooper in spaghetti sauce/glass jars but have a $$ limit that I keep for junk. And even with junk, once I go over that dollar amount I dump it. I can easily find a replacement for the dumped coins by roll hunting.
Easy example, one of my spaghetti jars can hold about $10 in pennies easy. I go roll hunting and find another $10 in descent coins I'm going to toss that junk jar by either trying to sell it or just toss it. It just goes to the principle that I can't keep everything, its not practical and it doesn't make business sense.
Junk is junk and people are not likely going to pay a premium for junk down the road. Its easy to find replacement for junk copper anyway.
If my coins are going to take up space then I want them to be in good shape. Also, coins are nice but there are other assets that pay interest and are more liquid than coins. better to have those coins in those assets than sitting in a jar or bucket in the house not doing anything.
