<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2634057, member: 74282"]A picture I've shared before, but this is how I store things. Coins go in archival paper envelopes with full notes, provenance, etc. and a unique number that identifies each coin. The coins themselves are ordered according to Crawford's numbering. Old provenance tags, envelopes, etc. are scanned into my digital file and then put into old flips I've cut up and stored separately(actually in a separate box now) and organized not by Crawford number but by my collection number so they're easy to find. Some of these flip halves have things like scans of old catalogs as well for provenance verification.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I like this split strategy is that I can keep the coins stored safely away in a safety deposit box and the old tags and whatnot at home and the coin storage itself is relatively compact. Also, they're not necessarily needed where I live in Colorado, but I like to keep dessicant packs in with my coins and change them every other month or so, just as a bit of added protection against bronze disease.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580033[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
