How do I store this properly?

My friend gave me a 1935 silver certificate the other day and I was wondering how to properly store the note. I've never done it before. Thanks!

If you have a coin shop near you, you can probably get an archival-quality plastic slipcase that is made specifically for holding currency. Also, like coins, you should not handle it with your bare hands. The oils from your skin can contaminate the paper.

Closest coin shop around me is an hour and a half away.

 

Give me your address and I'll send you some.

 

Haha, I don't think I'm too comfortable with that yet. I'll just buy some on ebay or something Thanks though.

 

Sorry Nick.......I didn't mean to take you out of your "comfort zone"

 

Haha It's fine.

 

ebay is a great place to get these. Another place that is pretty good for these items is Wizard Coin Supply:

I put some of my notes between a book...

 

Make sure you tell someone you keep them there. I had a guy from a coin club I was in die and his wife sold everything. Unfortunately later we found out she never checked the books, and another club member knew he used to keep his currency in the pages.

 

Is wizardcoin supply trustworthy? It looks like it has some great stuff!

 

Oh, and I have a couple banknotes that I want to show off. So I would like something that can be passed around by people. What would be the best choice? A snaplock? Something hard or plastic.

 

You should be able to pass around a regular Mylar banknote sleeve. It's still going to be flexible, but can certainly be dropped and handled without worry (unless someone's going to purposely try to fold the thing).

haha that's what I'm worried about. High Schoolers are a bit rough.

 

Hmmm... you may be looking for some hard plastic holders, where you sandwich the note in between two pieces. Like these, possibly? I haven't used them myself, but I'd think this may pass the high school test?

My dad had a old Canadian note in a picture frame.

 

unless one order a lot of supply, it's not practical to order from supply dealer, the shipping cost alone is higher than the silver certificate value.

 

Yeah, they're pretty good. I ordered from them before and got my package in no time at all. Lately I have been using another product I got off of ebay though since I purchased a large lot of them.

 

I mean, I have other bills that I think are worth a little more than those cases. I know they are sentimentally worth it atleast.

 

You can get different thicknesses of Mylar-D a more durable film is available similar
To what PCGS uses on there second generation holders
