I have a lot of silver dimes mercs, barbers, and roosevelts but how should I store them? At the moment they are in 2x2's
In a safe place without too much fluctuation in temperature or humidity. Maybe add a silica gel pack or 3.
Those 2x2s should be good enough. Go here for alternatives if you think you want to look into them, it's a good supplies site: www.jpscorner.com/.
I have a ton of plastic Snaplock 2x2's that I'm not using and that are F/S actually, if you need them
Depends on condition, if they are worth melt or close, tubes, mint bags, cigar boxes zip lock bags etc. I wouldn't waste a 2×2 if its worth less than $10
Just what I was going to say . I have a small box of everything from AU Morgans to cull Barbers and they are in a cardboard box and haven't changed in 10+ years , well not much anyways .
If they're just junk silver, put $50 worth in a heavy-duty 1-quart Ziploc zipper-type freezer bag. Works great.
I use coin tubes to hold mine. I also live in the desert where we don't have to worry about humidity.
I started with tubes and quickly found out how expensive it was, at least around central Ohio. A heavy-duty Ziploc that holds 10 rolls of dimes costs less than 15c.
