Hey, I am pretty experienced in banknote collecting, but have always been having trouble keeping my stuff stored inexpensively. I'd rather have my stuff in albums than those loose plastic holders, but BCW 3 ring binder sheets are pretty expensive, almost always over 50 cents per sheet that store 3 or 4 banknotes, while sleeves can be as cheap as 8 dollars for 400 banknotes. How do you guys store your bills and where do you buy from?
Nice, I checked the website, and 20 bucks for 32 bills is pretty good for a fancy holder like this but I'm trying to get more of a bulk thing going, since I don't collect more expensive currencies like US Dollars as often as some of the cheaper ones.
I like how its designed to go through one at a time. I will look at this for some of my more favorite bills. Thanks.
That's what I think I should do right now, but with a large collection of mostly cheaper bills, it doesn't seem worth a premium album holder to keep most of my collection.
These are relatively inexpensive. I believe they are still made. Each has 11 semi rigid sleeves so you can store 22 notes back to back.
What do you all use for certified bank notes? I have recently began collecting Franklin colonial currency pieces.
I think most certifiers have good enough plastic you can store it anywhere you like. I personally keep mine in my binder pocket since I only have a few.
Boylston Trading Company used to send approvals in attractive ungummed #10 half-windowed white envelopes... Semi-rigid/rigid top loaders add enormous weight to my collection's cardboard envelope box... and those loaders comprise a very significant fraction of the "market value" of my "rag" collection.
