What do you store your Morgan Dollar collection in?

Veridicus · December 1, 2003 9:13AM

Just curious about what you use any why?

MadMarty · December 1, 2003 9:14AM

Coffee can!

Veridicus · December 1, 2003 9:16AM

Do you have a separate can for each date/mint or do you put them all in one can?

MadMarty · December 1, 2003 9:17AM

Just one can!

I store all my slabs in PCGS blue boxes. I have InterceptShield albums for most of my raw coins and the rest of the raws are stored in a cardboard box under my desk. I will soon be getting a safe deposit box to store my more expensive morgans.

I built this to hold my Morgans in. Actually I built two of them

DaveG · December 1, 2003 9:43AM

I put my most of my Morgans (mostly XF to AU) in a Dansco album. The few I have that are slabbed fit in my NGC box.

I cracked all the slabs open and put them in a 2 Dansco albums, I like looking at them in an album------BigE

What date/mint combinations does dansco use? There are 95 standard date mints, 96 if you count the 95 proof. Does dansco just have those or are the 7/8 TF varieties included etc.?, and do they leave blanks spaces at the end of the albums?

BigE · December 1, 2003 10:24AM

Veridicus, there is a 7/8 TF variety in there, and as I remember there is some empty holes, not anywhere near all the varieties listed in the PCGS coin numbers-more of a basic set-------------BigE

BAJJERFAN · December 1, 2003 10:27AM

In PCGS blue boxes or NGC boxes which are kept in a safety deposit box except when they are allowed to come home for visits or vacations.
The few raw coins I have left are kept in airtites until I sell them off.

CoinGuy42 · December 1, 2003 10:27AM

I'm with BigE.....I collect keep mine in Dansco albums. I like the Dansco album because they are nice to look at and display. However, I do not have super high grades.....if I were to go with higher grades, I'd personally recommend slabbed.

dollardude · December 1, 2003 11:13AM

Since I am upgrading my set to all PCGS slabs, I keep the slabbed ones in blue PCGS boxes. I keep my raw ones in 2X2 holders, stapled and crimped, and then put these in plastic 2X2 holders, and then put these in a notebook. I keep everything in a safe deposit box, with the serial numbers registered with PCGS.

TONEDDOLLARS · December 1, 2003 11:24AM

Thanks Fatman, it was a labor of love

wingedliberty · December 1, 2003 11:28AM

I am anal retentive.

All PCGS coins go into PCGS blue boxes. Toned coins go into boxes labeled toned, White go into ones labeled white. All boxes are organized by date order and are arranged within the boxes in date sequence.

Same story for NGC coins.

All coins are stored in safe deposit boxes.

nucklehead · December 1, 2003 11:49AM

Most of my Morgans are in either PCGS or NGC holders,all are in a NGC slab box.The rest are raw in the same box.

Bochiman · December 1, 2003 1:36PM

I keep them in my pockets, but I only have a year set so far.

Oh...hold on.....you said morgans and not state quarters.....I keep the morgans in 2x2s and in a 3ring binder for the raw ones and the slabbed, I keep in PCGS boxes (but, I have a handful or two of NGC so I need a NGC box or two as well....I have had trouble finding the NGC box)

hamiltonjh · December 1, 2003 6:16PM

airtites, kept in blue box kept in a safe with stuff to absorb moisture.

None of my morgans are slabbed (yet)

BAJJERFAN · December 1, 2003 9:16PM

I keep my ACG slabs in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls' porch. Bin there since noon last night.

paigowjohnny · December 2, 2003 12:29AM

My raw Morgans are either in my Dansco date set album or in Airtites...for the airtites I bought two of those albums made by the same company to hold the little round devils. My slabbed ones are in those Eagle rigid plastic pages for slabs...and a few leftovers in an NGC box.

mintluster · December 2, 2003 12:50AM

I only do PCGS Morgans and I store them in that nice EAGLE Certified Coin Album.
They look absolutely stunning in there and are always on display in the albums.
Each page holds 9 slabbed coins (fits all slabs, small slabs use a little adapter to fit).
You can get a 3, 4, or 5 page album (I think they are making a 6 page album soon).

XpipedreamR · December 2, 2003 12:54AM

I keep them in a box labeled, "Morgan Dollars."

This is very nice to maintain the collection at home, but I would supplement it with a few Eagle albums so you can take them with you when you need to.
Unless you never take them anywhere, then I guess this is perfect for you.
Those cases you built look absolutely beautiful?
You should consider marketing them for sale.
Very nice.
You definately treat your Morgans well, as we all should!
I take my Morgan Eagle Albums out probably every few nights, just to look at them.
I NEVER get tired of it, probably never will!

Jaywalker · December 2, 2003 1:44AM

I have a raw, uncirculated year set that I keep in those snap-together Eagle holders, in plastic Eagle pages, in a nice binder. Maybe 8 or 10 were cracked out of slabs back when I wanted my coins raw. It looks nice, but it does put two layers of plastic over the coin, which cuts down on the eye appeal and luster.

I was thinking of putting them into a Dansco album. Does anyone know if that will tone them?

TONEDDOLLARS · December 2, 2003 5:45AM

mintluster,

I had Eagle albums before I made these. The pages kept ripping, as like you, I was looking at them every chance I Iould. i wanted a nice little home for my collection and this seemed to be the answere
