<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 57093, member: 2949&quot;]I just started getting interested in Ancient Coins.&nbsp; Specifically, I&#039;ve started out with some Roman Denarii and a couple of small (AE3/4) bronze common types.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been reading Wayne Sayles book &quot;Ancient Coin Collecting&quot; and find it to be a great read and introduction to this very interesting world.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I gather, ancient coins are quite different from U.S. Coins as to how you can store them.&nbsp; In fact, apparently, many ancient coin collectors like to be able to hold and touch their actual coin&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; ...pretty much a big no-no in other areas of numismatics.&nbsp; The dealer I&#039;ve been buying from (who seems to be extremely knowledgeable and has thousands and thousands of ancient coins) recommends that the best method for long term storage is in 2x2 acid-free paper envelopes and then just in a 2x2 cardboard box...making sure to keep the moisture low around them, etc.&nbsp; What do you all think of this methodology?&nbsp; Do any of you ancient collectors use paper envelopes?&nbsp; Pros, Cons?&nbsp; Anything?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
