<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 156832, member: 3011"]Roy's suggestion of using paper cups is probably the best suggestion. Before you figure out how to store the coins, you probably have to figure out how many are worth keeping. It will obviously require a different method depending on whether you have 50 or 1000 "keepers." The method suggested will also probably help you decide if you want to keep a set of low value coins in Whitman folders or some equivalent form. I do this for fun even though the individual coins aren't worth much more than face value in many cases. So do the sorting routine first before you commit to a storage system.</p><p><br /></p><p>It took me the better part of a year to get myself organized to the point where I was fairly satisfied. It really helps to start to get rid of the coins that have no special characteristics to make them worth saving. In a very real sense, the smaller your collection gets, the better it will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
