I have a cabinet that I want to eventually set up at a new residence, same cabinet, same coins. How would you store these coins for moving to a new state? It's a converted Secretarys desk. Was just hoping for some input from the community. Been missing ya!
What about putting each coin temporarily into a 2.5x2.5 flip, storing those in flip boxes, filler at the ends to take up any extra space, tape those shut, and then put all the slip boxes into a single larger box, taped shut, and then unpack?
Assuming the coins are not high value, and you’re careful, buy thick felt batting at a craft shop and cut it to fit inside each frame. Then clamp the frames together for transport.
Do you have some of that shipping foam? Cut to size for the drawers and pile them up to fill out to the frame, then tightly wrap with Saran Wrap. Nice to see you around again, P&G!
I am doing that for miscellaneous coins thru out the house. Either error or condition. These are coins that I have photo'd and had no place to put them, Ones that glare back at ya when uou open the drawer. If I chose that way it would be sized paper flips for movement. I have thought about that one. I worry that a fast shift might stack the coins. I would have to add a thin piece of strength, Plywood to pin the coins. Thanks, it is only as long as the computer hangs out. My platform is about to be unsupported. And Uh, my retirement might not let me buy another for a while. I don't want the coins to slide.
Cardboard is easy to cut to size. You could cut partial sizes to fill the empty space and then stack more on top to fill out the depth of the drawer. Hopefully no sliding, no stacking.
