I have rolls of dollar coins - both sacagawea and presidential dollars - that I want to save. In order to prevent oxidation (or whatever it's called when those rust-like spots develop) I got a bunch of dollar coin tubes. Unfortunately, the tubes are only half the size of the rolls, so I'd have to break them out of the roll to put them in the tube... what should I do, any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
I store all my Sac rolls and Pres rolls in round clear tubes with the screw on lid. The ones made for the half dollar work fine I holds the whole roll including the wrapper. They measure 2.5 inches tall and 1.75 inches across. The rolls will be a little loose but they will be protected..
I buy rolls of dollars at my local bank... mostly hand wrapped with a good mix of Susan B's, Sacagawea and Presidential. I don't really save 'em (maybe a few nice older unc's), but they're fun to spend. I use them for bridge tolls, six packs, etc... I get a kick out of the reaction I get. Some people have never seen dollar coins.
I put my rolls in a box that I bought from the folks at Brent-Krueger and, in the spirit of Mr. Popiel, "I set it and forget it". They still look great in their original mint rolls after these couple o' years.
