Storage....???

[Machiavelli]

Sitting down reading some coin books not doing much else figure I would just strike up a convo... So were do you guys store your coins... you have a whole room just for your Numismatic purposes? or a cupboard? I myself have a small safe that is getting packed... I have often thought about purchasing a gun case the full metal practicaly like a safe ones and buy shelfs for it to place my coins... what all do you guys and gals use? shoe boxes? fill me in and while your at it you can talk about the coins you collect...

I myself am currently collecting Morgan Silver Dollars... this is my main collection once I complete it I most likely will start on Lincoln Pennys and Jefferson Nickels... of course I will be doing a simple pocket change verson of the collection as I dont have the funds to purchase mint ms 60+ of all the coins lmao... :p I have often thought about mercury dimes later on in life.. as I know they can get pretty expensive for the older ones... In the mean time I will continue to collect my Morgans and my state quarters... not much to do on the state quarters though as I get the new one as it comes out unc and in a air tite that I can put in my state holder... nice deal ... until I finish my Morgans I will still be collecting wheaties and pre 1965 silvers... what are most of you working on at the moment??

Mach: Most here collect Lincoln Cents, with branches into other fields. I've got a few other coins that I started collecting, but since then decided to go mainly Lincoln Cents. So I've got a mainly Lincoln collection. I store my BU Lincolns in Tubes in a Box for now. Someday when I sell them off I will have a lot to get rid of. The RPM collection I have saved into 2 X 2's in a 20 pocket pages in notebooks. Extra RPMs I save into Tubes (For several multiples) and 2 X 2's for the less numerous multiples. Un-listed RPMs I save into tubes with the same year, some by Decade of the 40's. But even then there is a lot of clutter. LOL I put Coins that need to traded back into the bank in Paper rolls. I toss Wheats into a container that I get from change and damaged BU ones. The Memorial ones I that are of no use go back to the bank. The Vault Coins I store are usually are proof sets, but your right, they soon fill what space you have. So the boxes that tubes come in usually are my storage. For uncirulated rolls of BUs (Bank Rolls) I use "Booker" Boxes. (Booker Bourbon) And to organize my RPMs lower extra numbered, I put them into the 2 X 2 Boxes that you can get at a coin store. I put them in order of Year/RPM #. That way I can find them to trade/sell with other collectors. Hope this helps Mach.
