Wizzy1 Valued Member United States 430 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 2:07 pm I recently bought 4 1893 Columbian Exposition tickets. These are printed like small bank notes. What should I do to preserve and store them? I'm a coin collector and have no experience with paper Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 6:12 pm I've seen them that way -- in currency holders, at coin shows and if it's safe enough for currency it should work just fine for tickets. You probably won't find anything that will be exactly the right size but that's okay. Report this Post to the Staff
paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 6:25 pm Go to any coin shop and buy a packet of mylar, not PVC, currency holders. They come in several sizes, small to large, take your choice. The 4 mil thickness is the best, they run up to a pretty stiff 8 mils, and come with open top or flap-over tops. Don't get the open-on-one-end kind, you have to shove the paper into the holder along the long axis and that can wrinkle or crease your paper. There also is a 'red box' like the coin boxes for currency holders, might as well get one of those, too, to store them in. If you are considering purchasing banknotes in the future, might just get the packet in US currency size, should cover you alright. Report this Post to the Staff
