I think a good coin cabinet is usefull

 

waiting on my new bag unsearched wheaties....!!!!!

 

going to show..!! hope to make that great find...

 

I do not lie the folding coin albums. They can cause silver to tarnish because of acids in the paper. I use vinyl pages that hold 2x2 flips and those books with the sliding covers.

 

that is very good advice,.. I agree

 

a blue coin albums will ruin a coin... and you do not see it until you remove it from the album sometimes..

 

buying rolls is the best way..diff ..

 

avoid finger prints

 

always keep coins in dry area

 

error coins are different because there is not very many found...

 

rolls are the best way to dupicate as you look

 

good lighting is a must

 

IMO, "the whole income thing" is a lot easier to work with than US paper currency straps vs. coinage. Coins are just harder to transport.

 

search through 1000 pennies not just one ten dollar bill

 

coin holders and storage is important as is a good checklist..

 

deside what to collect, then systemize it for your own personal collection

 

safe storage is a problem..sometimes

 

semi-keys are getting just as hard to find as key's

 

But, keys are only key if you assume collectors wish to collect the entire set. Absent that, they are simply scarcer issues but not worth nearly the price of what is being asked.

This is clearly illustrated in 19th century coinage. Look at SL halves in the 1880's. IF collectors were collecting the entire set, these coins should be value 100X the price of a 1916d mercury dime. Since there is almost no collectors doing that, these coins, even though a couple of hundred times rarer than a 16d, are across the board worth less.
