    The question is best way to store your junk/constitutional/90%. I’m talking run of the mill dimes, quarters and half dollars. I already store my dollars in airtites and then in an airtite tube...the red top ones, but I’m considering storing my other denominations in coinsafe type tubes. The cost isn’t a lot really as I’ve already got quite a few from years ago so that’s not an issue.

    I’m considering putting them into the tubes and then in a monster box in my safe. Current setup is $50 and $100 ziplock bags stacked on top of each other. The issue I’m having is whenever I have a short bag I feel the need to buy more to finish the bag off!! Thinking the tubes will at least be smaller numbers I have to buy to complete them. Lol! Anyways, I’m sure it doesn’t matter too much and it’s a personal preference but want to see what y’all do.

    Switching storage won't make a difference. I use the plastic tubes and feel like I need to fill them whenever they're short as well. Usually, the purchase isn't the exact number I need, so I end up with another partially filled tube needing to be filled. :)

    I use all types of containers. Probably like tubes the most.

    Meow wishes Meow had this problem. Meow only has close to twenty 90%ers found CRH. They still all fit in the one 60 slot mini album Meow bought for them.

    I have all my 90% in a jar, rolled up in paper wrappers. It's mostly 40% halves found from circulation. I only have 5 or so silver quarters so they just sit at the bottom, not in a tube.

    I used to have them all loose. I thought it was satisfying to see how to jar filled, but at least having them wrapped deters "scuff marks".

    Zip lock bags, then your junk silver is easy to see. If your bullion corrodes it usually gains weight anyway, why keep it clean :)
