[QUOTE="Ralph, post: 869517, member: 24857"]Hi everyone, I've been collecting coins very casually since I was a child, but recently got more into it. I work as a cashier right now while I'm in college, and it's given me the chance to aquire a lot of interesting coinage and currency for face value, which has been great. The most sizable part of my collection is the wheat pennies I have amassed. I take any that I receive out of circulation, even low-value one, but the ones I'm happiest about are the 1909-1929 ones. So far I have just under 500 '29 and prior wheat cents that I've taken out of circulation. I store them in paper rolls, wrapped in a ziploc bag, in bubble wrap. Is this decent long-term storage, or will the paper rolls damage the coins over time? Most of them actually came in rolls--I'm not sure why anyone would be willing to spend an entire roll of pre 1930 wheat cents at face value, but I'm not complaining.[/QUOTE]
