Now that I have four GSA box coins and two soft packs, I have been worried of them just being stacked up with little protection. So I started looking at what was available. Last week I made a order to Wizard coin supply, to purchase some storage boxes. I am hoping I can organize my collection a little better than I have it now. I thought I would post some of my new (new to me) storage boxes. In case others are looking for ideas. I also would like to see how others are doing theirs, maybe I will get some ideas from you. First my GSA Morgan dollars. From this ....  To this.....    Not sure if I will ever have enough to fill this box, but I think it will hold 12 GSA boxed dollars. |

Another problem I had was with Ike dollars and 1964 and older proof sets.   I think these boxes work well.   |

I use one of those type boxes to store my stamped $2 notes from 1976. Slabs go in a 3-ring binder page that holds slabs (I need to get more of those pages).

For me 1992 to date are also a little bit of a problem.   To this  I will have to order a few more boxes for these, But I like how there hold and I hope protect the coins a little better. |

As your collection starts to grow ... Roll boxes are your friend    The center two are ones I got from Wizard yesterday. I ordered a brown half dollar box, but got yellow. For the new Green dime box and yellow half box, I will be putting silver U.S. and silver Canadian coins. Sort of happy I pulled these boxes out, other than needing to arrange them better, I found almost 3 silver rolls of half dollars and two of quarters that I forgot I had.  |

My solution is simple. I do not save slabbed coins. I don't have any Proof or Uncirc sets. I break them all up and put coins in Albums. All Duplicates are in 2x2 flips and then into those Whitman long, two row cardboard boxes. They stay there until I get enough to put in Albums. Up to way over 100 Albums.

Cool. Thanks. I sometimes forgot just how much stuff Wizard has so I had to look for them.

Slabs & Capital Plastics holders. Coins awaiting a holder are in the red 2x2 box. The white box on the top shelf has some 58-64 proof sets in it. Not in this picture are the approximately 12-15 recently acquired holders that I will be filling eventually. I still have a relatively small collection since reentering the hobby in 2010. I had sold my first collection about 1988. That one was entirely in Dansco albums and folders. This time I decided I was not going to be an album filler.  |

I put them in heavy, ziplock bags with a sacrificial cent and desiccant, then I put those bags into tupperware.

It attracts the bad things in the air before those things can be attracted to more important coins behind the multiple layers.

Thanks for the reply jbuck. I store a lot of my coins similarly (in a ziploc and then tupperware) I'll be throwing a "sacrificial cent" in with them now too.
Is it better to use a copper cent over zinc or plated steel?

I think an uncirculated bronze cent is best, that way you can see if it is having to work.
