<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2502301, member: 59737"]For coins in bulk, organize them by date and mint mark. Use coin tubes to store them safely. If you have as many as you say, you'd spend a ton of time/money trying to store them all in another manner. I'd pull the better looking coins and put them in 2x2s and store them in red boxes (info below). That way, you can move them and store them easily without making them worse. I'd also pull of each type of coin you have and put them into 2x2s and store them in a binder in sheets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recommend purchasing from this seller: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/Holders/39476/m.html?ssPageName=&_ssn=jpscorner" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/Holders/39476/m.html?ssPageName=&_ssn=jpscorner" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/Holders/39476/m.html?ssPageName=&_ssn=jpscorner</a></p><p>Specifically, I made this purchase and was incredibly happy with it:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/700-Cardboard-2x2-Mylar-Coin-Holders-with-7-Red-Storage-Boxes-/370863744503?hash=item565933a5f7:g:BLsAAOSwDN1UMv3c" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/700-Cardboard-2x2-Mylar-Coin-Holders-with-7-Red-Storage-Boxes-/370863744503?hash=item565933a5f7:g:BLsAAOSwDN1UMv3c" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/700-Cardboard-2x2-Mylar-Coin-Holders-with-7-Red-Storage-Boxes-/370863744503?hash=item565933a5f7:g:BLsAAOSwDN1UMv3c</a></p><p>I also use these types of pages:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/500-Cardboard-2x2-Mylar-Coin-Holders-for-Dimes-with-25-Pocket-Pages-/370863744233?hash=item565933a4e9:g:xIcAAOSwr81UMvcT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/500-Cardboard-2x2-Mylar-Coin-Holders-for-Dimes-with-25-Pocket-Pages-/370863744233?hash=item565933a4e9:g:xIcAAOSwr81UMvcT" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/500-Cardboard-2x2-Mylar-Coin-Holders-for-Dimes-with-25-Pocket-Pages-/370863744233?hash=item565933a4e9:g:xIcAAOSwr81UMvcT</a></p><p>I personally think it's a pretty good deal, but you can shop around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's how I store my world type coins that aren't in bulk; I put them in alphabetical country order:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]530983[/ATTACH]</p><p>This way, you can showcase the different and more important coins so that anyone can come up and sort through them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would recommend a few other things: never touch a coin on the face, hold it by the rim.

Here's how I store my world type coins that aren't in bulk; I put them in alphabetical country order: [ATTACH=full]530983[/ATTACH] This way, you can showcase the different and more important coins so that anyone can come up and sort through them. I would recommend a few other things: never touch a coin on the face, hold it by the rim. Feel free to buy cotton gloves to use while holding your coins. We all own a pair or two.
