<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1351169, member: 13650"]Well I'm glad you didn't get upset over my post. I really don't mean to trash your idea. I was just sharing how I stream line things so it doesn't get too ridiculous. It seems we have both extremes here. Some people don't document anything. Some collections are so extensive, people don't even know where to start. Others are probably overly documented. </p><p><br /></p><p> I agree that a whole bag of coins isn't the greatest way to do it. The square coin tubes are really nice if you ever want to try one. There's 50 dimes to a roll, 40 nickels and quarters to a roll and 20 halves make a roll. It's a great way to organize and they're stackable. </p><p> For nicer stuff, Intercept shield makes really nice plastic 2x2s and boxes for them. I know at least one of the 1804 dollars (multi-million dollar coin) is stored in an intercept 2x2 case. Saw it with my own eyes. I love them.</p><p> Air-tite capsules work great as well. Some people like 2x2s because you can write on them. I admit, some stuff I have left in cardboard 2x2s but not much. I've never used one myself. Good cases do take up more storage area and cost more though. I do have a few nice looking coins that aren't that valuable that I put in good cases too. For example, a pristine 1964 quarter isn't worth that much but I feel like I have a responsibility to keep it that way. Hard not to use a good holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
