Coin Collecting Folders

The best coin collecting folders are designed to safely hold and organize your collection. Some come with pre-labeled spaces while others are more generic and allow you to label as you assemble your collection. Most importantly, a good coin folder is acid free and made from a material that will not off-gas into your coins or damage the paper on which they are written.

Storing your collection correctly will help to preserve it and maximize value. The location of the storage is also important as it needs to be free from leaks and extreme temperature fluctuations that could damage the surface of your coins. Ideally, a bedroom or den is the best choice as these areas tend to have a consistent temperature and moisture levels.

Some sets of coins that are recommended for beginners will come with a special coin folder to house them in, but these can be costly and not ideal. This is especially the case for minted commemorative coins that may be more expensive than standard ones.

For those that are looking to start with a cheaper option this Whitman (Check it Here at Amazon) coin folder is a great choice. It features a coin storage case and space for the common Buffalo nickels which were minted from 1913-1938. The case is easily zipped up and will protect the contents of your coin collection while you are at home or traveling to shows and clubs. It does not have the same level of organization as a coin folder and you will not be able to put your own labels in but it is an affordable way for a beginner to begin their collecting journey.
