Guys! I am 55 years old and have coins stored since 1971 that my father bought. This is easy, remove the oxygen supply from the equation....go to Fin feather Fur or Harbor Freight or some gun show and get a $10 ammo can, drop a pack of the dehumidifier form the monthly new shoe's box your wife brings home, then use cheese cloth from Dollar Tree to wrap them in layers, or the brown paper most bullion dealers use for shipping (NO PLASTIC WITH PVC), like a lasagna, and it will NEVER tarnish. Ammo cans keep ammunition for more than 50 years without going bad, NO HUMIDITY in them and you can fill it up with gold weighing 80 pounds and still strong enough to grab by the handle. And, you can bury it if you need to. Neither water nor heat will kill it.
Thanks so much, appreciate the education. I had only a few silvers for many years, but recently started adding to my collection in earnest. Your video, was very detailed and presented in a professional manner, Many Thanks!
Thank you so much for explaining the correct size coin capsule, and putting it in the description. Beautiful stack! Really nice to see a stacker protecting the silver from tarnishing- storing correctly 👍 Excellent video! 🌟
It's very important to store your coins this way. FYI the little dots are from the plastic injection molds during the manufacturing process. I like how you line those up. Looks professional.
@florida stacker this vid really helped a lot for the tube storage question I had. But one thing I was waiting for in this vid was the storage solution for the 10oz bars once they are in capsules, in case you wanna keep them as scratch free as possible. And efficiently stacking of 10oz too. Great vid man,full view and thumbs up brother. I love shiny silver.
I guess it's a good idea to buy coins in tubes instead of buying loose coins. Otherwise it is complicated to buy tubes separately, and it is not cost effective to buy dozens of capsules for lose coins. Most tubes contain 25 coins, others 20, like the Phillarmonics.

Awesome video has to be the best friend I seen as far as protection in storage for such a large variety! Thanks so much because this will definitely save a lot of time and trial and error as real as well as possible unnecessary damage
Tubes: I like the circular Whitman tubes. They have twisting tops, and are very clear (at least when you first get them!), so you can see what's in them without fuss. I agree on the non-twisting tubes. Very insecure. Even if you're very careful, I don't like tops that can just pop off if you drop them
I forgot to mention those! Even had them sitting on the table next to all the other tubes. The video was getting long and i just flat out forgot them during the tube part and moved on. Yes, they are a nice option for seeing the silver :)
Quick word about storing silver in Capsules... Dust can easily find its way into the capsule before/during storage. Blowing Compressed Air can unsettle and remove any unwanted particles, before closing that lid!
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just bought a lot of coins, and I needed a storage box for them. I found my solution in this video.
5:00 - Most plastic flips should NOT be used for storage. They release PVC which will damage a coin's surface. Only use those for temporary transportation, etc...and then don't forget to remove them.
Check the Volume of Kangaroos vs Maple Leafs, and if the Leafs sell more per year, then they would likely be the 2nd most popular bullion coin in the world.
Milk spots can develop months, even years after purchase. I have had coins develop spots in capsules and tubes. Tarnish doesn’t seem to be a problem, but a couple of the 2020 ASEs I bought had slight toning on the edge when I got them. Doesn’t bother me as bullion coins are bullion coins. Most of my more numismatic coins in capsules rarely spot, like proof ASE’s, and Perth Mint stuff. Queens beasts and proof maples tend to spot pretty bad over time.
Thanks for sharing and yes I am experiencing what you stated with milk spots myself. Several of my capsuled coins have developed spots. I never capsule a spotted coin so they must have developed over time.
This is such a good primer for storing silver, even down to the diameter of the most common coins and different options of getting the tubes, flips etc. Good stuff!! 👍
That was a great presentation for the storage options. I appreciate you sharing this information. So far I’ve been using individual capsules and not tubes because I have less than twenty of each coin you mentioned. However, I’ll definitely save this video to refer to when I need to select the proper storage tubes. Thanks again. ❤️👍🏽
I’m very much like you in terms of storage preferences. As I’ve matured into middle age, I realize that I’ve become VERY particular about certain things. Maybe stacking is a way for me to exercise that mild personality disorder! 😂 Have to pick up one of those Guardhouse boxes. Those are the cat’s pajamas! 🐈 😉
I am new to buying silver, i have american eagle silver, i love your favorite, guardhouse with the green twist cap, but where can i buy these????? I would really appreciate your response! Thank you p.s. i did google it and found it!
I put all coins and bullion in capsules. I purchase all gem bu and or bu. Even an American Eagle bullion coin. For me I’d like to keep everything in the best condition I can. Not worried about losing the premium in a capsule because I have the option of removing the capsule if I go to sell the item. As far as tubes I also have the tubes that the capsules fit in. This is just the way I personally like to store my silver.
I started out doing that, but it became too expensive and bulky. Now I only store numismatic coins and the most pristine bullion coins in capsules. The rest go in tubes, Especially generics. Even buying BU, a lot of bullion get spots. The worst are Britannia’s, but ASEs spot a lot too.
A couple of criticisms The money you're spending for these capsules and capsule tubes negate the extra money that you might get back on selling. These methods also greatly increase the storage volume required. I think it's best to stick to tubes and monster boxes
While I get your criticism and do not refute your logic, why? The title states what this video is about. 6 hours of my life to help answer the 10 questions I receive weekly on “what capsule is that” or “what size tube do I need”. Basically, this video will serve as a reference for those questions for years to come.
@@floridastacker I know! It was useful info and you have helped me with getting correct fitting tubes before :) I'm commenting to add to the discussion and they are factors that should be taken into account. The extra costs of capsules and volume it takes for storage is something that should be considered. Stormy made the mistake of having too much plastic with his silver and has since been in the process of volume/storage consolidation I appreciate and enjoy your videos! That's why I always watch and regularly comment :)
actually there ARE 40.6mm and 40 mm capsules ... the eagles will fit in 40,s but very tight ... i damaged a coin finding this out ... make sure wen you buy they are 40.6mm
Every BU coin or round I have is in an airtight capsule. Silver Eagles, Maple Leafs, Morgan rounds, etc. Why wouldn’t I? If I have a BU coin it’s silly to let it degrade. I’m not an investor, I’m a hoarder. My stack is a hedge against a failing dollar and hyper inflation. I don’t sell anything in my stack. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t take care of them. Besides, capsules are cheap, and I enjoy doing the small amount of work it takes to preserve them. I also use BU coins as Christmas presents. In a capsule with foam they make a nice little gift that doesn’t break the bank.
I have a bunch of flips. I will put 2 of the some coin in each flip. I will do that with 2 flips (4 coins), if I pick up more I start a tube of that particular coin and take them out of the flips. and I love that 10 oz Britannia bar. haven't seen it around lately. great video.
Supposedly there are chemicals in those latex gloves that can cause damage to the coins. Has anyone else heard this? Not sure if true but my LCS owner told me not to use latex gloves.
Good point, the softer the plastic the more PVC it has and PVC tarnishes. Granted it is only when in contact so no harm in touching for seconds every week but...Use cotton gloves. Get cheese cloth from Dollar Tree to wrap them and store in an ammo can so no oxygen nor humidity gets to it.
Walmart has more made in America products than I’ve seen anywhere else except for maybe a hardware store. I grew up in middle of nowhere Wisconsin. I’m tired of being ripped off by mom and pop shops selling overpriced made in china trash.
A great presentation on how to protect coins. The next step is to protect capsules from scratching. I put every capsule and 2x2 into its own 2"x2 3/4" ziplock bag like the one you removed a new capsule from. I then store them in double row boxes designed for 2x2's, which is more space saving that the Guardhouse capsule box. This allows you to easily remove a coin by pulling on the top of the bag and you can also make notes on the top using a permanent sharpie.
Really appreciate your help on this issue. I recently hit one of my big stacking goals, and the stack has become disorganized and unsightly. Will be implementing a lot of your ideas, especially the 10oz bar capsule for my new Una & The Lion from Royal Mint :)
Save some time and just go to the 35:00 mark for bars. Coins just keep them in the sleeves. lol. He doesnt go into the technicals of storing precious metals (atmosphere, temp)... only containers.
Tubes…..keep them in tubes. Fancy cases aren’t worth anything when you sell your coins and bars. Plus, some of the prices on capsules are ridiculous. I usually get my tubes from my local dealer I regularly buy from for free.
I want all my coins in capsules!! But realize how ridiculous that is (space and cost) once you amass a hundred coins, lol. My LCS was kind enough to give me two capsules for free, during my last purchase of 6 coins. 😊
Get cheese cloth from Dollar Tree and store in ammo cans so no oxygen gets to them. Ammo can are strong so you can fill it up and still the handle will hold. They are made for abuse and store METALS, brass doesn't even tarnish when always in ammo cans.
OnFireGuy one of the best capsule guys in the business. Have bought from them many many many times. Always perfect condition items every time and fast shipping as well. Awesome silver man.
Yeah that definitely works and I kind of the same way - but you sort of proved my point. The twist caps require no tools on hand. Easier to deal with especially for TH-cam
Good information, I like my silver shiny, I also like to display some cause I enjoy seeing it. Everything goes in either a capsule or a tube. Thanks for the info on all the storing of coins
Great video. Thanks for the info. How do you store larger 1 kilo bars? I was thinking to wrap them in silversmith's cloth and put them in ziplock bags?
I believe I responded to your email but for the public record cool, dry, dark place. Box is fine and adding any sort of moisture absorbing product will help prevent tarnish over time.
Flip flip flip, I store 95% of everything in capsules, the other 5% I put in my pocket and it goes jingla linga lingle cause I like to molest it on occasion 🤓 I do have have some of those tubes for Eagles, Maples, and Britannias.
Well i like the Retro tubes best but they are very hard to find. I'd say the clear silver dollar tubes but they only hold 19 when the lid is all the way on. You can get 20 in them, but the lid isn't fully twisted to do so.
Is there anything to worry about as far as effecting the appearance of the coin when using air tight capsules. Would there be any discoloration once the the silver coins are exposed to air after being stored for years in airtight capsules?
The lighthouse capsules are a little different. I am sure they are perfectly fine but they are sized a little different and didn't work as well with my tubes/boxes. For me the guardhouse boxes work nicely so i went with the guardhouse capsules to ensure the right fit.
@@floridastacker yes, I can tell this video is the type that people will go back to as reference. Thank you for helping us out and the newer and upcoming stackers/collectors.
Cool video. I keep my silver airtight sealed. But I must tell you, I handle it with my fingers. Mostly on the rims and edges though. I love the feel of silver. I feel better after I touch it, for some reason. So I touch it all the time. I just can't help myself. I love silver. I have some gold too. But in my eyes, silver is so much prettier.
I was walking home when I walked by the Mint in Ottawa. I saw that they sold some 10 oz bars and, as I had some cash from my graduation, decided to get one on a whim. However, when I got home I realized that the plastic seal that it came with was broken. Is this a severe issue? I understand silver tarnishes quite quickly and I wouldn't want its value to decrease (though I've been reading online that tarnishing apparently doesn't). I've just put it into a food ziplock bag that I sucked all the air out of and then stuffed it into a little watch container for now. But my questions is what should I do? Order one of those little containers you had? Or would it be fine out of the plastic? Many thanks!
I have a few bars with ripped plastic and yes they will tone in that area over time. It won't really decrease the value so to speak but some potential buyers may pass. It's up to you if you want to capsule the bar. They are nice but be careful sliding them around as they scratch easy (the plastic) and over time they start to look less appealing with a lot of scratches. I like to keep my bars in the original plastic if I can, but have capsules on a couple I like to show in my videos

Great video Florida Stacker! Nicely organized and presented. Tips and tricks every one should know to protect their investment
I guess it's a good idea to buy coins in tubes instead of buying loose coins. Otherwise it is complicated to buy tubes separately, and it is not cost effective to buy dozens of capsules for lose coins. Most tubes contain 25 coins, others 20, like the Phillarmonics.

I put every capsule and 2x2 into its own 2"x2 3/4" ziplock bag like the one you removed a new capsule from. I then store them in double row boxes designed for 2x2's, which is more space saving that the Guardhouse capsule box. This allows you to easily remove a coin by pulling on the top of the bag and you can also make notes on the top using a permanent sharpie.
Outstanding information!! Thank you
do you then put the ziplocked capsule into another ziplock to preserve the original ziplock??
@@gatzzinnyaaareaa LOL
@@meteoman7958 I mean that's what I would do haha
Can we use a FoodSaver Vacuum-sealer for the kilos and 100's, or will the food-grade plastic react with the silver?
also JP,s Corner is awesome place to buy all the airtight and storage gear
Really appreciate your help on this issue. I recently hit one of my big stacking goals, and the stack has become disorganized and unsightly. Will be implementing a lot of your ideas, especially the 10oz bar capsule for my new Una & The Lion from Royal Mint :)
Salivate metal says that cotton is abrasive and actually will scratch coins fyi
Save some time and just go to the 35:00 mark for bars. Coins just keep them in the sleeves. lol. He doesnt go into the technicals of storing precious metals (atmosphere, temp)... only containers.
Tubes…..keep them in tubes. Fancy cases aren’t worth anything when you sell your coins and bars. Plus, some of the prices on capsules are ridiculous. I usually get my tubes from my local dealer I regularly buy from for free.
Thanks for the tips!
I want all my coins in capsules!! But realize how ridiculous that is (space and cost) once you amass a hundred coins, lol. My LCS was kind enough to give me two capsules for free, during my last purchase of 6 coins. 😊
Thank you Florida Stacker🇺🇸
You bet, Jeff!
I have silver eagles,I put in tubes but I cut wax paper the size of the coin and put between each coin.
Nice, Joe! Good protection
Get cheese cloth from Dollar Tree and store in ammo cans so no oxygen gets to them. Ammo can are strong so you can fill it up and still the handle will hold. They are made for abuse and store METALS, brass doesn't even tarnish when always in ammo cans.
Helps prevent scratching, spotting?
OnFireGuy one of the best capsule guys in the business. Have bought from them many many many times. Always perfect condition items every time and fast shipping as well. Awesome silver man.
Couldn't agree more! I have made many orders myself. Thank You!
I was in the Army and always have a pocket knife of some kind on me. Getting the cap off the original mint tube hasn’t been an issue for me. AATW!!!
Yeah that definitely works and I kind of the same way - but you sort of proved my point. The twist caps require no tools on hand. Easier to deal with especially for TH-cam
Good information, I like my silver shiny, I also like to display some cause I enjoy seeing it. Everything goes in either a capsule or a tube. Thanks for the info on all the storing of coins
PS. I did subscribe to your channel today! Your video, is very helpful!
Thank You, I hope you find more useful and enjoyable videos here!
Central banks need to store more of silver bars now before revaluation of silver takes place..
Gold to silver ratio....1 : 8
Great video. Thanks for the info. How do you store larger 1 kilo bars? I was thinking to wrap them in silversmith's cloth and put them in ziplock bags?
I believe I responded to your email but for the public record cool, dry, dark place. Box is fine and adding any sort of moisture absorbing product will help prevent tarnish over time.
@@floridastacker thanks.
The silver American eagle is 1.598 inches wide. (For those of us who are a little stubborn. 😊)
Thanks for sharing!
Great information!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Bit older video but hopefully still useful
I just dump all mine in a cave with my pet dragon.
Great information my friend! Thanks as always!
You bet, Mr Ink!
Fantastic vid on protecting silver coins/bullion! Nice to know there are options outside the country mint defaults. Thanks.
Thanks for the info!
Flip flip flip, I store 95% of everything in capsules, the other 5% I put in my pocket and it goes jingla linga lingle cause I like to molest it on occasion 🤓 I do have have some of those tubes for Eagles, Maples, and Britannias.
Top bit of information to help otyher s
That was what i was going for! Thank You, Tysonfury
Excellent Informative video
Glad it was helpful!
Great Great video! Thanks
Always good to see helpful tips videos. What’s your second favorite maples tube? Sometimes the first choice isn’t available
Well i like the Retro tubes best but they are very hard to find. I'd say the clear silver dollar tubes but they only hold 19 when the lid is all the way on. You can get 20 in them, but the lid isn't fully twisted to do so.
Is there anything to worry about as far as effecting the appearance of the coin when using air tight capsules. Would there be any discoloration once the the silver coins are exposed to air after being stored for years in airtight capsules?
I think that light would have the most effect once it is in the capsule. Sunlight can have a negative effect on the coins appearance over time.
I'm new to this and just want to get physical silver with a low premium. What are your thoughts on the JM and APMEX 1 and 2oz bars
Constitutional definitely goes in paper tubes for discreet shtf transportation :)
I have my dimes/quarters rolled. I keep some loose for the videos.
❤thanks for the advice
awesome video I'm new to stacking and also from Florida. I'm going to be stacking up this year.
Welcome aboard, Florida Stacker! Thank you for the comment. Much more content to come this year. Best wishes growing your stack.
I love the direct fit.
Great video. I watched to the end. Ive been using the panda sheets for a while. Great information thank you. 👍🏼
They are nice aren't they? Wish they held 20 though, that would rock.
great collection to!❤
Thank you!! 😊
Good info on those guardhouse tubes.
Great video. Luv the clean, organization and direct to the point information. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You! I am glad you enjoyed and found the video informative!
Thank you ! I like my coins pristine !
I bought my capsules from lighthouse the shipping is expensive 8 bucks so I bought plenty
The lighthouse capsules are a little different. I am sure they are perfectly fine but they are sized a little different and didn't work as well with my tubes/boxes. For me the guardhouse boxes work nicely so i went with the guardhouse capsules to ensure the right fit.
Very informative video and the time stamps🤙🏾🤙🏾
I hope that they helped you and will serve for quick reference in the future.
@@floridastacker yes, I can tell this video is the type that people will go back to as reference. Thank you for helping us out and the newer and upcoming stackers/collectors.
I hate the flips for anything other than temporary storage.
Definitely not a fan of the flip 👍
Cool video. I keep my silver airtight sealed. But I must tell you, I handle it with my fingers. Mostly on the rims and edges though. I love the feel of silver. I feel better after I touch it, for some reason. So I touch it all the time. I just can't help myself. I love silver. I have some gold too. But in my eyes, silver is so much prettier.
Thanks for the comment! I love them both and all I can say is I need more of each haha!
Merci ❤
6:00 That came out easily. Are the guardhouse ones easier to slide in and out? What online coin supply places do you prefer?
OnFireGuy, Wizard Coin Supply, Apmex, eBay
Great nugget of info 👍
Thank you!
Gold goes in a airtite and silver in a coin bag.
Its easier to shake silver is a bag to hear that beautiful sound.
I like that for some of my 90% :)
I was walking home when I walked by the Mint in Ottawa. I saw that they sold some 10 oz bars and, as I had some cash from my graduation, decided to get one on a whim. However, when I got home I realized that the plastic seal that it came with was broken. Is this a severe issue? I understand silver tarnishes quite quickly and I wouldn't want its value to decrease (though I've been reading online that tarnishing apparently doesn't). I've just put it into a food ziplock bag that I sucked all the air out of and then stuffed it into a little watch container for now. But my questions is what should I do? Order one of those little containers you had? Or would it be fine out of the plastic? Many thanks!
I have a few bars with ripped plastic and yes they will tone in that area over time. It won't really decrease the value so to speak but some potential buyers may pass. It's up to you if you want to capsule the bar. They are nice but be careful sliding them around as they scratch easy (the plastic) and over time they start to look less appealing with a lot of scratches. I like to keep my bars in the original plastic if I can, but have capsules on a couple I like to show in my videos
Useful info. Thanks.
I rain out of air tights . Is my lar flips a good .substitute until I can get more air tights. I got an 89 maple leaf this week end
Yeah of course. The flips are fine. Remember you need a 38 mm for the Maple Leaf. Thanks, Robert!
Solid proof that you _are_ more particular than I am. 😂 Great video, Florida!
haha, probably, but I still think we are similar buddy
@@floridastacker you’re just better at it! 😂
