5 Ways to Store Your Coins

There are numerous way that you can store your coins and many people have developed their own storage methods. While some collectors are happy to lump all their coins into a jar or plastic bag, more serious collectors take a much milder approach, separating and labeling each coin. Unless you are planning to open a numismatic museum in your front room deciding how you are going to keep your collection is an important consideration.

In this article I have reviewed some of the most common methods noting their advantages and disadvantages. With regards to the prices I have selected the lowest possible amounts, buying in larger quantities will of course reduce prices even further.
