Intercept shield double boxes. Labels with a brother p-touch for easy access. They went back to the safe deposit box today. All of these are kept a few small desiccants.

    tossed in the SDB with little to no thought.
    oh, and a gold ring my grandfather used to own to keep it company.

    I hope there's no copper in those boxes. PCGS boxes will not really protect from oxidation.

    My coins are in grading service plastic boxes, which are in the bank. I do place a couple of moisture collecting bags in the safety deposit box.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Most of my bust halves are in Dansco albums. Circulated coins are not going to be damaged by sitting in an album and I collect coins so i can see them.
    Now my high grade halves are in NGC or PCGS holders to keep my hands off them.

    I like to keep my coins in kraft envelopes.
    I bundle the envelopes in small mint canvas bags, quite a few can fit in each bag, and
    then several of the canvas bags can fit into a bank safe box. I have quite a few slabs that tend to
    take up so much room that they have bank boxes all to themselves, but
    the raw coins in envelopes in bags are just stuffed into the boxes with a few desiccants.

    The only problem here is when you want to take a few coins home to look at them you have to have a
    good book keeping system for organization or you may have to drive all over
    town till you find the box with the coin you want image
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

  • If you want something safer than a vault, that no thief would think to touch, try this LINKY

    Of course if you have a large collection you might need a few.

    All 20 of mine are just in a PCGS box. They are, luckily, made out of a material that does not corrode very easily so I don't worry so much about intercept shields and the like. image

    Gab, that 1836 in PCGS in the top left is by far my favorite! image
