<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1663643, member: 112&quot;]Brianna - </p><p><br /></p><p>Since you are just starting out, let me ask you a question. If a coin is worthy of being in your collection, is it not worth spending 50 cents to protect that coin for your entire life, and your daughter&#039;s entire life ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll tell ya, these coins that you are collecting right now at the beginning, years from now those will be the most important coins there are to you, and probably to your daughter too. So think about what I just asked you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m saying this because you can buy Air-Tites for about 50 cents each, since you work at a coin supply company I&#039;m sure you are aware of that. Heck you might even be able to get &#039;em cheaper. But the point is, every other kind coin holder there is (other than hard plastic coin holders) have problems, or will in time be harmful to the coins. And some sooner than others. To my knowledge, Air-Tites are about the cheapest way there is to go with hard plastic coin holders, that&#039;s why I recommend them. And if you buy your Air-Tites in advance so you have one for each new coin you add to your collection, you really don&#039;t notice the cost. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not like a guy who has collected for 20 years and all of sudden he is told he needs to buy enough Air-Tites for his entire collection. Yeah, that could be a big chunk of change. But buying them 50 or so at time, you won&#039;t even notice it. So think about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for preparing your coins before storage, unless there is something on the coin that will harm it if you do not remove it, then leave the coins alone. Just put them in their holders as they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>And don&#039;t forget that there is a lot more to proper coin storage than just the holder you use if you want your coins to stay as you found them, or bought them. It&#039;s pretty simple, but you need to follow proper procedures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
