[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 23710821, member: 100459"]I really like your coin cabinet. I was going to build one myself, but my lazy bone told me to find some other way to store my coins. I don't know how collectors store their coins, but I found a way that isn't hard and I don't have to spend a lot of money. I keep coins that I collected over the years in a 2X3 plastic container. I have coin boxes and I keep all of the sets (cents, nickels, coins, etc) filed together. All boxes have an identifying code listing all the coins in each box. All of my gold coins are kept in the boxes they were shipped in as well as the "display" box that hold the coins. I didn't start collecting until 2009. Starting 2009, I stored all 2009 coins and sets are kept in a box and are cataloged. I keep the catalog for each year in a binder with documentation in plastic sheet protectors. I keep a log of each purchase for the year in the binder, on my computer, and in my safe. I've done that since 2009. As the years progressed, I found better ways to keep up with my purchases. I have a box for each year and all the documentation. It has been fun and hard work to keep up with them. I don't buy many gold coins due to the cost. Maybe 1 a year.[/QUOTE]
