[QUOTE="Coinman1974, post: 337396, member: 12193"][URL="http://www.cointalk.org/member.php?u=12604"]PbFut[/URL], What I can tell you as an amateur collector is this. If you want to keep and catalog it, buy some books on coins. Learn what you can about them. Sounds to me like there is sentimental reasons for keeping this collection. Learn as much as you can. As for storing there are many ways, 2x2, Folders, albums, and more. I tend to use Dansco Albums as they protect the coins well, and you see both sides, but the albums do run $20.00 and up for each series. There is 2X2's but they can be expensive aswell due to needing 2x2 flaps, pages then folders to place them in. I am in the process of removing my collection from 2x2 and placing them in Dansco albums. Dansco Albums in my mind will actually save you money and are IMHO better for the collection. As far as books go to [URL]http://www.whitmanbooks.com[/URL], there is a large selection there. Hope this helps. Regards, S[/QUOTE]
