How do you store your coins?

I store my antics coin in Abafil trays , this is an Italian numismatic company doing wood coin cabinet. But I focus on quality high grade not on quantities my collection is only about 100 gold and silver antics coins and selected copper ones.

The Abafil is done to enjoy at home and also to keep in a bank safe.

Thanks. I'm still not sure what "HB" is, though, and I'm also not sure what you mean by "antics" -- do you mean "antiques", or is "antics" just a coinage that a US-only collector like me wouldn't have heard of?

 

Antics coin are Greek, Roman Empire and so on. Ancient coin if you prefer.

 

Thanks!

 

My pocket change gets a quick "once over" for anything interesting or that jumps out. Any silver or copper coins will end up under the loop for closer examination. Then quarters go in a small coin bank until its full and then transferred to a leather bag in the car for tolls, etc. All others go into a 5 gallon water bottle (presently 1/2 full). When it gets too heavy to move around easily, part gets dumped out and either rolled, or off to the local coin star machine. Yes it eats at me to give away 12.5% for the machine to do the counting for me, but I get tired of rolling them and have successfully convinced myself that my time is more valuable then the fee. The banks in my area are pushing back on accepting coins unless your a customer. One teller told me the branch was thinking of charging a rolling fee for loose change and they would no longer order boxes from the mint for customers. Seems so many folks were searching for "W" quarters from mint rolled boxes that the returned coins were taking up to much time using the banks machine. They are seeing it as an unexpected cost to them.

 

TWELVE AND A HALF PERCENT now?!

I guess I just get a lot less change than most people do. I find it's easy to keep it under control by feeding it into self-checkouts. (Even though there are fewer opportunities to do that now; Kroger left our area, Food Lion took out their self-checkout lines entirely, and Aldi and Sprouts never had them.)
