Storing Coins And All The OGP

When we had coins that were purchased with any important materials like packaging, envelopes, cases, letters, or other provenance materials, we stored the coins separately from the materials.

To keep track of the materials, we used a "dot" system, with the obnoxious bright color file folder sticky dots. My wife created a color-coded system and wrote matching inventory numbers on the dots, so it was easy to get the coin back together with the other materials. One dot went on the slab or holder or 2x2, and the other went on whatever held the materials. The digital inventory showed a symbol that told us we had other materials for the coin. We also generally had photos showing the full set of materials with the coin.

That let us keep the packing materials in a storage unit and the coins in an off-site secure location. For security reasons, we never kept coins or coin supplies in our home.

Just our overly-nerdy approach, but it worked.

I really like those display boxes commems. Is that tray a MBCAPS38?

I currently have a mix of mint set and proof size storage boxes, as well as a half dozen large boxes of the same type. The large boxes hold my United States and Canada unicrculated sets (I have them all). The other boxes hold all of the United States and Canada original government packaging for the proof sets from both countries, 1955 to date for the US and 1981 to date for Canada. Then of course are numerous greystone white boxes that hold the air-tite coins from 1942 on, and then aluminum cases for the slabs from 1932 to 1941 and the Ikes. Some of the cardboard boxes are stacked seven or eight high.

Maybe. I make the box out to be much bigger than expected.
