How do you store your collection?

They are float frames from Michael's. I recommend getting the museum glass (they sell it) if you are going to frame a nice note.

Thanks for the information MEC2 - there is a Michael's near me, so I'll check them out.

 

how do you line the notes up?

 

Very carefully...

 

Ok, so after seeing how Mec2 store his notes I decided to go the album route.



I noticed the pockets are large enough to fit a holder and since I had ordered a bunch already in they went. Also went ahead with the black page inserts too.

 

Very nice, Icerain. I've been looking for a decent album for currency myself. Are the Lighthouse pages pretty rigid and stable? I've got some cheap pages now but they are flimsy and almost as weak as a sandwich baggie.

 

The ones used are from the Grande series, they're larger than the regular size. The pages are not that rigid, I would say its 2 mil. back and forth. The holders I have inside are 10 mil. back and forth so the total would be 24 mil. which makes them pretty sturdy. If you choose to use an extra holder I would imagine the album would get pretty heavy rather quickly. But they are nice, I'm pretty impressed.

 

This is an example of my storage.

 

The majority of my notes are stored just as Clay's notes are stored. I have a seperate box just for $1's, another box that houses $2's thru $100's, another box for the graded notes, and a huge album for 4-subject sheets.

 

I basically have all of mine in my combination safe in denominations from fractional up to $100. But I was thinking about the boxes soon and due to the recent theft of some of my coins, I'm so glad I didn't do it when I was thinking about it!
