Advice to buyers on storing coins

There are many ways of storing coins.

A major don't is to store them together in a tin or box.

Any movement can scratch or damage them which will reduce their collectability and their value.

Don't store them in any plastic or other material that may cause a chemical reaction with the coins and damage the suraface.

The best option is to buy ready made coin storage items of a reputable make or if the make is unknown to buy from a reputable source.

Coin envelopes, albums and display cases are all available at E-Bid, coin fairs, hobby shops, coin dealers shops or via the Internet at reasonable prices.

Using these displays will keep your coins safe and give you a nice way of showing them off to other people.

I have no vested interest in this advice as although I sell coins and banknotes at my E-Bid store I do not sell coin or banknote storage but I do want my customers to have a good experience from coin or banknote collection.

I am sure other advice from other dealers on coin and banknote storage would be welcomed by buyers.

I have many different kinds of coin and currency supplies available in many sizes and quantities. I just uploaded about 500 different Buy Now Auctions where you can find what you're looking for. If they weren't available on eBid before, they just might be now. Check them out!

Hi, there, it would be useful if you put a signature after your post which includes a link to your shop.

Good luck with your sales.

I would like to add that coin cleaning is also a no no. There is a greater chance that you will depreciate the value of a coin rather than improve it.
