Copper Coin Storage Advice

#1 Unread post by txparka »

Was wondering if anyone has any sound advice on storing early copper coins that are not slabbed? All of mine that are not slabbed are held in the 2x2 cardboard coin flips. I have not seen any negative effects in the few years that the oldest ones have been with me, but my paranoia is starting to bug me, lol. I'm not looking to do conservation work, but just advice on storage. Would cloth/paper envelopes ever be a suggestion? If so, any name brands on anything would be helpful. Thanks so much!

You're doing fine with your coins. Just keep them out of humidity.

I agree.

And...despite common belief, slabs are not air tight. So be careful in storing slabs as well.
