morganman56 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 10:24 pm I've been wondering if storing circ. Morgans, I guess they have a small premium beyond melt value, but they are loose inside a red cardboard coin box. Should they be put inside a 2.5 x 2.5 flip or store like this ok? If they tarnish, when silver goes up more per oz., probably will be sold for the bullion anyway? Report this Post to the Staff

llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 10:41 pm I wouldn't worry about storing them loose or in a roll if they're less than XF or so. They're circulated so ought to have a patina anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 10:48 pm All undamaged Morgans carry a premium to melt value. In general pre-1921 Morgans carry a larger premium than 1921 pieces. Assuming you are talking about generic widgets, we would need to see a picture of what you have to provide a good answer. I have stored bulk Morgans in large bags in the past with no worries. They were coins with heavy wear, cleaning, beat-up, etc. If you have Morgans that are VF/better without problems then I would definitely get them in 2x2s (or rolls as llewellin noted).

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 12:54 am Not Morgans, but I have had loose circulated coins that I collected as a kid - copper, silver, nickel - in the same cardboard box for over 45 years and I don't see anything different about them. I live in a very dry environment though, and don't take it as sound advice. If you're not tossing the box around I don't think it matters that much. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 07:24 am I prefer rolls. It is neater and makes it easier to count. If you get a lot the rolls can be put into boxes too! You can use plain paper (not the bleached kind), or put an inner layer of mylar in the paper rolls to minimize (but not eliminate) contact with air. Report this Post to the Staff
Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 07:35 am I prefer stacking them in coin tubes. It keeps them stationary, but easy to access if you feel like looking for VAMS or just handling them. I've had them stored that way for a decade, and I see no difference. Like others have said, they are already circulated anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
