Whether you are an experienced collector or just getting started, coin collecting folders near me are a great way to organize your collection. They have individual slots for each coin in a set and make it easy to see what coins you have completed and what ones are still needed. They are also a great way to introduce children to numismatics, a fun and educational hobby.
While it is tempting to polish and clean a coin to make it look shiny and new, this can reduce its value. Additionally, it is important to store a coin collection in a safe environment. This includes a place where it will not be damaged by extreme heat or cold, and one that is free from harsh chemicals.
A good choice is a safe-deposit box in the bank or a burglar and fire rated home safe. You should also avoid storing your collection in cardboard boxes or plastic holders, which can damage the coin surface. Instead, choose acid-free cardboard and plastic holders that are free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC slowly breaks down to leave a sticky green slime on copper coins.
Many collectors take a notebook or spreadsheet approach to cataloging their collections. They list the Red Book or Grey Sheet value of each coin along with the date, price, and dealer from whom they bought it. This can help if you decide to sell your collection at some point. It will also make it easier for your heirs to determine the value of the collection.
