What do you do with your non graded coins? with POLL

silverdollarfitz

I was just wondering what everyone does with their coins if they choose not to send them to a grading service. I dont' feel the need to send them to be graded until I will sell them, which wont be for a while. so how do you store your coins?

Barndog

Dansco albums, 2x2 flips, 2.5x2.5 flips, Intercept Shield 2x2 holders, and paper envelopes -- I use them all

FilthyBroke

I like the premium coin holders, but have a Dansco and a few 2x2s also.

DorkGirl

All of the above.

messydesk

Many of the above. Some are in flips, some in 2x2s, some in albums, some in original mint packaging, some in rolls. Many of my VAMs I've put in my VAMSlabs.

MidLifeCrisis

I only have a couple...a Conder Token that I know has been "conserved" by a dealer and an old beat up Capped Bust Half Dollar with graffiti etched into it (makes a cool pocket piece).

Not worth slabbing...not worth spending any money on at all.

AUandAG

voted other. Keep some in 2x2's and most in tubes.

Various methods, albums, 2x2's, plain slabs, rolls, tubes etc....Cheers, RickO

BBQnBLUES

Well I use Dansco's, Capital Holders, Flips & Airtites... Just depends on the coin
Forgot to add: An OLD Leather Bank Satchell that I keep all my XF Morgans in (hope to see some toning someday).

BBN

put them in the spokes of my bicycle

NumisOxide

Mostly in E&T Kointainer Saflip.

Ed1840

I have them in different types. But the better ones are in air-tites. I found a website that sells them for .29 cent apiece, plus $5 something shipping. I also have them it 2x2's, books. I found a mason jar half filled with common wheats in my kitchen cupboard when we were moving. Does anybody still use the cabinet method, seen a really nice one on ebay, but I really didn't want mine that environmentally exposed.

Ditto...plus I purchases some "self-slabs" that I can print my own labels, put the coins in there for safety, and show to friends/etc.
Haven't used them to sell any coins but I have used them to protect, store, and show some coins. Usually toned or ones that I know are of interest to someone.

Edited to add: I don't like the CW holders, btw. I did get some, a couple of years ago, mutli-holders...like the NGC ones, but the contact is no longer around so I can't get more
Those were great for year displays. The ones I have purchased now are similar to the older, smaller, anacs slabs. Multiple sources for those.

For some reason I'm liking the Airtite holders with the ring, then with the card holder, and storing them in a storage box. At least for some of my coins.
The 2x2 cardboard seems so cheap looking to me, and the flips seem like the coins will fall out accidently.
Maybe I'll do flips with my more generic Silver dollars, and Airtites with my sets. Like my ike PR set, or VAM set i'm working on... Until i get them graded

silverdollarfitz

seems like most people like cardboard holders...

<< <i>so how do you store your coins? >>



A few different ways....

Some of them are in Dansco albums (mostly pocket change and a 7070).
Others are in 2x2s (most of the other inexpensive coins).
The rest are in Airtites (the more expensive coins -- mostly large cents).

SeaEagleCoins

Voted "other"...

All unslabbed coins need to be melted... because if they're not in a holder then there must be something wrong with them... right?


(yeah, I know...it isn't cool to laugh at my own joke...especially when it is a corny one)


anyway... I mainly keep them in Dansco's for my personal collection... and some in 2x2s (cardboard and plastic)


for sale coins that are raw mainly in the "traditional" 2x2 and some in flips... unless it's just 90% stuff...that goes into plastic bags...

StubbyMcNumbthumbs

Danscos and 2x2 holders.

adamlaneus

I use everything in the list but 2x2s and coin world holders; I also don't store coins 'raw'.

I have a Big Problem with 2x2s and that is the STAPLE.

First thing I do when I get a 2x2 is:

0) Make sure I have a suitable airtite for the coin
1) Unbend and remove the staples prior to removing the coin.
1a) Alternatively cut the cellophane, extract the coin.
2) Staples BE GONE!
3) Throw out the staples.
4) Verify that the staples are gone.
5) Look around for more staples and dispose of them carefully.
6) All clear.

Type2

All on the list dont just do one.

Check out Fitz, doing a poll! This new guy ramping up pretty fast

edit: I chose "flips" as best response, but actually use most of the choices sometimes

LindeDad

Most of my non graded coins are still in the original Mint packaging.
2x2 for some of the individual coins.

SamByrd

my keeper raw coins are mostly in snaplocks I use a small amount of safety flips and some random 2x2' and paper envelopes.

other then bookshelf albums i use a lot of whitmen classic and dansco as well as a lot of folders for extras.

19Lyds

Other: I store them in ROLLS. Rolls of this and Rolls of that!

lkeigwin

The nice ones go in 2x2 Intercepts. The cheap stuff, in flips. I try to trim the variety. Too much chaos in my life as it is.

Moderns: OGP

Classics: Flips

DennisH

Several of the above. Mainly albums, but some extras are in 2x2 holders and lots of just "stuff" is in tubes.

InYHWHWeTrust

Some dansco, some 2 x 2s, better ones not slabbed in the crinkly flips that don't have PVC

Other: Library of Coins albums.

"What do you do with your non graded coins?"

Interesting choice of words. Not to nitpick on your semantics, but are you implying that if my coins are not in slabs, then they are not graded? My coins are all graded - by myself. I rely on my own grading, which hasn't changed over the years with market conditions. Perhaps you meant to say "What do you do with your non slabbed coins?"

I use a combination of different holders, mostly the old Hudgeons E-Z Self Seal adhesive 2x2's. I have used these for many years, but since they were discontinued long ago, my supply is running low. I have been negotiating with Capital Plastics on a custom plastic holder, based upon their 'Caps Case' coin holders, but with custom color and labeling. Great holders, but kind of expensive when you buy 2000 of them. They provide protection, but can be easily opened for photography, weighing, measuring, etc..

drwstr123

A little of everything. PCGS boxes, albums, flips, 2X2s, raw, Capitals, and my piggy banks.....

Somebody ought to make a magnetic 2x2 flip.

<< <i>Somebody ought to make a magnetic 2x2 flip. >>



Would magnets effect the coin over time?

BillyKingsley

I use these...


Or at least I want to. I keep spending my money on other things so I don't have enough left to buy more of these.

I also use these single coin holders for my "special" coins that are waiting to get into the year holders (I don't know the name of what I posted above so I call them year holders) This here is my first ever proof.


Until I can get more of the holders, I keep my collection in a variety of these small plastic flip cases, which are meant for storing trading cards (another hobby of mine) but also work for coins.
