<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1560698, member: 75105&quot;]We will have a lot of trouble IDing your coin without a decent photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as storage....if you have a lot of wheat cents it would be best to store them in a roll. If they are still shiny (like a new cent), or before 1935 and in very good condition, then store them in a 2x2. A plastic whitman roll is only about 50 cents and holds 50 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cardboard 2x2s are an excellent way to store coins. They cost about 3-5 cents each. I can buy 100 packs of them for $4. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cardboard 2x2s were one of the few methods of storage until the clear plastic capsules came about. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some people like to use flips which are clear plastic &quot;pouches&quot; to put your coins in. The coin rolls around and could get damaged when you slide them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people worry about the dust from a cardboard 2x2 scratching the surface of a proof coin. However the ENTIRE inside of the holder is covered in a clear plastic. If there is any dust on the window, just take a fine cloth and wipe it off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people like using the clear capsules for coins that snap together. However they are not cheap and they scratch easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also since your new, I wanted to point this out, although you already may know this.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Never EVER clean a coin.</p><p>2. Always hold a coin by it&#039;s edge. Otherwise touching the surface will transfer oils from your skin, leaving a nasty fingerprint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
