Discussing Coin Storage - Product Reviews 

Whatever containers I use, I have had the best luck with ziplock bags with dessicant silica packs inside the bags along with the boxes/flips/capsules of coins. Mylar bags would probably be best. If you don't do this, moisture is going to be an omnipresent issue in damp/humid parts of the country. Banks are a bad idea because of all the customers wearing cologne coming in and out every day. Color change dessicant is highly recommended. You'd be surprised how fast these packs wear out. They're good for a few weeks, a month at best. After that, they're no longer pulling moisture and need to be microwaved. Even in ziplocks I refresh mine every few weeks to keep them in fighting form. Even the sonically sealed slabs are generally going to have the same humidity inside as the outside air around them, with some lag involved as moisture changes.

Good information for beginners like me. Thanks!

Informative discussion on Coin Storage Products. A few related items are dust covers for Dansco Albums, the silver colored "intercept" pages Littleton sells for its albums; and Caps Albums, Like you, my coin collection is diverse. Including diversity in the album brands used. Last, I wish Whitman offered slip covers and protective insert sheets for its three-post albums. Thank you for all that you do for our hobby.

I prefer the air-tire & have been using them for years. Not a fan of 2x2 or the books/binders

Big like 293! Thank you so much for sharing! Excellent video!

Thanks. I assumed once graded, the holder protected the coin. Will need to look for some intercept boxes for the graded coins

Do you think it's better to cut proofs from cello and keep them with the envolop? I got one where the cello was broken and they were sliding around- cut out and put in flips. Kinda want to put all my 50s and 60s proof sets in flips. What's your opinion?

A very helpful video thanks. I suggest Dansco for storage . I just had exactly what I didn't want to have happen, happen. I do not recommend Whitman. I bought a Whitman book (not a board ) to save a bit, the type you showed with the sliders for my Roosevelt dime set. I have them all UNC 1946 - 2000 D including proof. I put the coins in the holder 20 years ago. I just discovered extensive damage the edges of the un-circulated and Proof coins ( about 50 in total ). Green corrosion salts on the edges that are now creeping onto the Obv and Rev, which is why I discovered it. Almost all of the 1965 - 2000 UNC and Proof coins are ruined. The silver coins from 46-64 are fine and do not seem to be affected, this only happened to the UNC and Proof coins for some reason. I bought a Dansco album to move all the unaffected coins over to.

I use coin capsules and SAFLIPS stored in non PVC plastic boxes. The other storage is to keep coins in their original government packaging if it is safe. Older mint sets and proof sets from 68 - late 80's (exception Prestige sets). I will break out.

awesome videos subscribed now..

Good information! I thought toning on coins is a good thing.

Whats up whats up? I only collect American coins because in 50yrs from now it will be easier to sell try to sell a foreign coin thats 100 yrs old in America ebay would be your only chance

Check out the CAPS albums. Coins are stored in Air-Tite capsules.

Since im seeing everyones input, and didnt see my particular storage medium, ill input. I buy Cowers pages, tha 3 ring binder pages that hold 20x 2x2s, and use tha zip up Case-it binders. When taking coins out of 2x2s, i break tha window. For stuborn windows, i have toothpicks to peirce it. Thanks.
