Collecting coins is a rewarding hobby that requires special care in order to protect the value and eye appeal of your treasured collection. From storing your collection in a temperature controlled room away from humidity to the right storage selection for your coin collecting case, there are many factors that can affect the beauty of your precious metal coins and the overall value of your investment.
One of the most important elements in the presentation and preservation of your coins is the type of storage case you use to house your collection. Choosing a case that is safe for your collection will prevent it from damage caused by acid, water, and other chemicals. Additionally, a proper coin collecting case will help to protect your collection from oxidation.
When choosing a case for your collection, consider where you will be displaying it and how often you will be handling it. If you have children or pets, be sure to choose a safe case that is well-protected from any possible harm. In addition, if you are planning on expanding your collection in the future, choose a larger case that can accommodate your growing coins.
Another way to store your coin collection is in a binder or album. These holders are easy to find and affordable. They come in a variety of styles and can be easily reorganized. They are also available with PCGS exclusive designations and a variety of labels so that you can display your coin’s grade along with its notable specifications. For a high-end option, consider a deluxe coin and currency holder album. These albums come with 2×2 pages that can be used with cardboard or plastic coin flips, and they can fit into a standard three-ring binder that you can purchase at any office supply store. The pages are made with non-PVC-based plastic that will not leach into your coins.
