<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2810734, member: 112&quot;]Coinwoman - </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a LOT to know ! More than you can ever imagine. And I&#039;d literally have to write a book to explain it all. There&#039;s probably a gazillion different ways used by various collectors to store their coins. And almost all of them have good points and bad points, some of them more bad than good, and others more good than bad. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now good and bad can be thought of in many different ways. Some of them are bad for the coins, others are bad for you, and for various reasons. Examples of bad for the coins can be things like friction which increases wear, especially over time. Or unwanted and unsightly (read as ugly) toning, or the possibility of scratches, or the possibility of hits and dings because the coins are not protected properly. The list goes on. Examples of bad for you might be cost - this way cost more than that way. Or maybe you don&#039;t like this way because it doesn&#039;t &quot;present&quot; your coins the way you&#039;d like to view your collection when you get ti out to look at it. That list goes on too.</p><p><br /></p><p>But as it is with most other things when push comes down to shove there&#039;s really only 1 &quot;right way&quot; of doing things when it comes to coin storage. However, then there is always the question of what is &quot;right&quot; for you ?</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end you&#039;re the only one who can answer that because you are YOU. And everybody&#039;s different. Everybody is going to have their own ideas of what is right for them. But me, yeah I&#039;m different too. Ya see, I&#039;m one of those who looks at it from the point of view of what is right for the coins ? Me, I don&#039;t matter, the coins are the only thing that matters. And when ya look at it like that, well, the whole world kinda changes. And it turns out there really is only 1 right way.</p><p><br /></p><p>To discover what that is, well you&#039;re gonna have to read some to do that. Like I said I&#039;d have to write a book to explain it all. So here&#039;s a suggestion. Get on the main page of CT, this one - <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums/">https://www.cointalk.com/forums/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then go up and click in the little box that says Search. In that box type these words - proper storage. And in the box you see where it says - Posted By Member -&nbsp; type in my user name, GDJMSP, then click on the Search button at the bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>The page comes up will give you a lot to read. And you&#039;ll read not only read my comments but comments from everybody else too. In the end you should have a pretty good idea of what your options are. And you&#039;ll have a pretty good idea of what storage method is truly best for the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you&#039;ll have to make a decision, you, or the coins ? But at least you&#039;ll be able to do it without spending a lot of money on something that you later find out you didn&#039;t want to spend that money on <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
