The nice thing about the Whitman or Littleton coin albums (Barnes & Noble) is they fit perfectly into a quart sized food saver bag and can be vacuumed sealed keeping all the air out. Wear a mask so your coins do not get COVID-19
You should also teach people how not to spread COLD/Flu/COVID etc. You did a great job!
Great video Daniel very important , I use the Silica packs and a tube sock with rice in it, collects moister like crazy , and very cheep :)
Easy come, easy go. Before I collected I would polish my coins to a mirror finish. I can make a Philly cent damn close turn it into proof penny. Just between the letters not quite there
Hard plastic tubes for coins already in hard plastic? NICE! I didnt even know those existed, lol.
What I really worry about is where the albums are kept. Every time there is a hurricane or tornado I wonder how many coins get washed away or blown away, scattered to the wind or how many are melted in fires. Have seen melted coins in a pile, sad.
I would just love to go to a COIN show. I am very impressed that you welcomed the GENTLEMAN to PERSONALLY visit you. SERIOUSLY BOYFRIEND..keep us updated and I hope silver joker takes you up on your offer SWEET!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have silica packets in my safe to keep the humidity down.
Thank you so much! I have an 1890 1891 & 2 x 1901's Indian Head Pennies uncleaned I found then & many others, including human bones (Omaha Police Dept. has them currently) lol....I recovered them from an old building that was a upscale hotel & a nice bar turned Crack Head Prostitute flop house...now remodeled to apt.s and Bar. (still hundreds of coins to be found, I'm 1000% percent positive because I know where to look.. The building (s) were built in 1906 & the adjoining in 1910. There was an escape tunnel used during prohibition raids and some evil / strange items that I also recovered, that may be priceless to the right individual. I'm just a working man and proud combat vet. really hoping to score enough for a nice down payment on a home for my 14 year old son & I. Three of the four pennies are uncirculated, near mint....besides the dust of over a Century. I am taking them to DSS coin in Omaha Ne. today just to see what he says. [any input would be appreciated]
Good luck!
Back in 70 I was stationed at SAC HQ. I got to know a janitor on third shift. He told me a friend of his kept a coin in his pocket for good luck and it is worn down. I cringe at the thought it might have been worth money
Easy to get free silica packets. Ask a local furniture dealer. A decent sized silica pack is most likely in the box of every piece of furniture they have shipped to them. Instead of throwing them out, ask the dealer if he can have his workers throw the paklets into a box for you. I did this and within a month had more than I will likely ever use. If the dealer pays for trash removal by the pound, this also helps them out. Plus the silica ends up being used instead of in a landfill. Win-win-win! Your coins will thank you 😄
Thanks for commenting that!
If I would use a album it would be the Dansco type, I use the 2x2 flips , both kind and the storage boxes......The 20 holder pages for 3 ring binders are nice also , The 2x2 holders just slip in nicely....
❤ your video. Thanks for information
I HAD A BUNCH OF FULL WHITMAN COLLECTIONS IN MY CLOSET. I THOUGHT WAS SAFE. TROUBLE WAS IT GOT EXPOSED TO A HOT WATER HEATER EXPLOSION THAT WAS BEHIND THE CLOSET. IT RUNED EVERYTHING. I HAD TO START ALL OVER. LESSON LEARNED.
Ouch
How about a small dollar size ziplock bags? Would that good to keep your coins in?
I don't know, never kept coins in baggies for long.
😎😎😎😎!!!! Cool cool cool cool!!!! I didn’t know about the gloves. Nor did I know about the different types of coin holder or what coins I would need to use for my silver coins. And I didn’t know about the pvc. So this was really GREAT INFORMATION FOR ME😎🤓😎🤓.
Nice to hear!
My most successful method for getting coins into albums that are a very tight fit (especially when new):
Look in you pocket change and find a similar coin with the same denomination/size- place this coin in the album first (by whatever means necessary). I let it sit for about 5-10 min before taking it out and replacing it with the coin meant for the spot. Makes it WAY easier!
Thank you for bringing up the nicotine Daniel great point! My best friend is also a coin nut like myself except he has a lot of his coins on display in his den which is our Poker room LOL we play twice a week most of the guys either smoke cigars or cigarettes I beg him to put the coins away his logic is there my coins I want to enjoy them I want to look at them this is my Den I'll do what I want. I'm like dude you're killing the value of your coins .he's like whatever they're mine
If you go to a pharmacy, they can possibly give you some silica packs as all meds come with one in and they typically throw them away.
Good info , I’d already moved most of my coins to 2x2’s , still have some blue cardboard 1950’s & 60’s slabs ...... and paper mint sets
I got about a hundred silver eagles in the airtight some with the white and some with the black around them makes them look really nice after four years no problems yet
I recently converted a non working refrigerator to a storage cabinet for my buckets of copper cents and nickels.
Filled the entire refrigerator. I am beyond folders. lol.
@Mystery Buyer
How long have you used the refrigerator to store your coins and how are they holding up as far as you can tell?
I ask because I have a small fridge about 4x3 that I was about to trash. An old fridge sounds like a good idea until I can come up with a better solution. I’m in the South so since moisture adversely coins that might work for me.
@@everettwhite9874 I would say it depends what you store in them. My kind of coins are only for the copper. They are nothing special just copper weight.
I have to say that it will draw moisture so you will want to add a moisture packet. And I would not store anything really valuable where condition is a priority. Otherwise it's been working well. It's been about a year now.
Great information. I'm just starting a storage of my collection.
Don't take this the wrong way but how are you getting away with that intro music? That's Collective Soul right? Are you playing it yourself? It sounds just like the original! Thank you for making videos they have been extremely helpful! I'm just getting into stuffing 2x2 with coins from my collection.
I use Leuchtturm/Lighthouse products to store my coins. Self sealing matrix holders and their K50 coin sheets in an Optima binder. I have only been collecting pre-1970 mint state or what we call brilliant uncirculated british coins for one year so far and not a single change in toning on any of my coins so far. But I bet it would be 5-10 years in storage to really tell if there is a problem with their products.
When I joined the Army my dad stored my coins in his gun safe! 😩
Omg the sulphur absolutely destroyed them with the ugliest toning you’d ever seen. It was like black.
It broke my heart :( but I didn’t want dad to feel bad so I didn’t say anything.
Nicotine as in nicotine **products** or nicotine as in the chemical itself (to wit, does vaping affect coins)? Also, how long in the folders does it take for a humid atmosphere to affect them, assuming they're 1960 Whitman slideshow Morgan folders?
DANNY
EXCELLENT Point on removing the coins from the 2 × 2's. SERIOUSLY..the staples will leave scratches.THANK YOU FOR THE advice.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐆🐆🐈🐈🐃🐥
Really enjoy your videos. What do you think of the PVC-free pages for 3 ring binders for coins. Also the ones that hold the flips. Would you recommend those?
If. There's away to trace this Coin or the others down I have coins that drumells where used on to make the large bust queen look like the missing dots off the original.....
Finally if you believe if you have a coin of value, take a photo, by insurance then take it to your favourite coin shop, labelled in plastic and sit down with that person at an all glass top table......and watch his. Hands Thank You "."
So you go around thinking that dealers are going to steal or switch out you coins? I can't count how many coin shows I've been to and left coins at dealers tables and coins from other dealers left at my table and after all these years have I heard but one time some coins were missing. Sounded like they were misplaced with the story. But not one time have I heard about a switch out.
CoinHELPu This was. My first encounter with a coin, thief, / dealer.......so far I'm at 100%
@@joelfreedman4747 you might be a court of law must determine that. This makes you're fourth comment on my videos about this and that is not appropriate. I am sorry if it did happen but the burden of proof is on you and if you can't generate that then no one is guilty. So it's best to realize that not all coins dealers are dishonest.
Thanks for the Information on storing your coins properly!
Thanks for sharing Daniel.
So you dig up roman coin which has been in ground for 17 centuries, mechanical clean it up and then you worry about degradation from air and dust particles? Or maybe this is just for coins without patina? Just kidding.
My dad has many of the dansco books and they held up over the years. Most of its life was stored high up in a closet, now inside a lockbox in a cabinet. I’m thinking of getting the peace and Morgan books as well as a franklin book. Nice to be able to safely store the coins and still see the reverse.
Learned a lot thinks brother. I am thinking about a small safe with Silica packs in it. I have a Dehumidifier, I actually use that instead of air conditioning. Once and a while I’m dragging an air condition out of the shed. This Virus has me not being able to find the new coins, will penny production for this year be lowered. I had to buy a 2020 penny.
💞
I PERSONALLY LOVED the round capsules and the tube method .THANK YOU. Your correct about the staples. ❤
Just a random thought running through my head. If you have coins your just going to store for the future without dragging out or maybe you want to. Set them in the 2x2 or flips or what have you and then vacuum seal them you can write on the outside what it is and still see the coins. Doing multiples at a time full sheets for a example. You can label them for grand kids, who ever you want to have them in the future, write what you bought them for and 20 years down the road see what they are worth. Just make sure your wife says you can put some in the bottem of the chest freezer. :) have a good day coin friends.
Very informative video! I like 2x2's in a box, being careful of overstuffing and rubbing. Ancients and hammered in archival safe flips, including their attributions in an album. All crowns AU or better are graded and in a NGC or PCGS box. That's how I roll, again, YMMV.
I capsule everything. Even Capsule books. I just touch mylar and press with latex gloves to remove from 2X2. Then Plastic Tubes
Helpful as always. I just ordered an Eva-Dry reusable silica packet system today on Amazon. $15 well spent
What about the intercept shield snaplock holders? They have some kind of foam, but claim to neutralize and prevent any reactions on the coin they contain.
I live in central Florida and have a Whitman Classic Book of Silver Eagles that was exposed to tremendous humidity, due to it was stored in a plastic tub in my old motor home, that had been parked for quite some time. When I finally decided to retrieve the tub I discovered the roof air conditioner had been leaking every time it rained which is quite often here in Florida.What I found was the most beautifully Book Toned Eagles I had ever seen.Blues and rainbow colors permeated the rims and bled into the fields in a lovely fashion...I often wish I could recreate the affect on some of my other coins but would rather not experiment with them...Thanks once again for your insight and experience !
In these cases the coins are worth more, but some are afraid to allow that to happen. I love eagles that look like that!
🙏🏼
Thanks very helpful info. I am collector from Pakistan.
You Sir, are a wonderful man, for sharing knowledge and expecting nothing in return.
Thank you for ALL your informatics videos!!
...feckin autocorrect: informative.
Great video Daniel very informative and helpful!! just curious as to where you get those circular air tight holder’s, different sizes, and then the tubes they go in as well? Thanks for your help and your honesty in all your videos!!
We sell them on our website portsmouthcoinshop.com
I store all of my Silver Ike’s, and other silver with Silicone packs. It keeps them from turning milky
Yes, very good idea
Great! Needed this! Thank you 👍. Oh oh, can’t use those in WI. To much humidity, yikes
I had a ton of toning on mercury dimes in a Dansco album when I first started collecting
Can you do a video on toning. New to the hobby. Just fell in love with toned and aged silver dollars. Different toning. Differences from dirty coins. How it relates and effects grading.
Oh my gosh really !! I smoke around my coins & alot of times I don't use gloves.so always use gloves & don't smoke and all the other things you said.thank you I learn alot from yiu,you are alsome
Hi this is AZcoins trying to send you a picture threw your opinion what you think have a problem getting with your email
What about ziploc bags? And press out the air while sealing the bag??
I bought intercept shield albums .they seem to stop toning,but they don’t sell them anymore
My dealer worries the foam for the capsules at 6:30 may have PVC in them.
My mom just gave me her old coins in a Mason jar wrapped in paper envelopes. Lots of Silver pennies, Indian nickels, silver dollars...
I'm inventory them now. I thought of plastic sandwich bags until I can get cardboard. But, is a sandwich bag not a good idea?
That is fine but the Pennie’s are steel not silver, but use a magnet and make sure they stick to it.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ,YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH,, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
50+ years ago, thought I had bought one of the best, Whitman slides for my Lincoln Cents. Placed many a shinny MS coins in it then; half a century later, yup, they done got toned out. I assumed it was the Album at fault [desert climate here] and you appeared to confirmed this; therefore, two [2] questions here [first time to ask a question in a myriad of Comments to you] and TYVM for your valuable time Daniel:
1. Did the unknowing [me et al] buy "acidic[?]" 'cardboard' holders [liability here?] which you mentioned causes toning, but did not specifically state acidic, but referenced the cardboard only and
2. Are the latest Whitman's et al acid free and if not see number 1 above [liability for damaging countless coins]; this is a major manufacturer of these Albums that should have known better.
I wouldn't know the answer other than coins react to them. I would call the companye and see what they say.
Humidity is a big problem here in Florida. It's hard to know what to do.
I'm in Alabama, the is no place without humidity! Even during the second month of a drought we have 75% humidity.😅 😢 😂
Your house can be humidity free.
Thank you for that bit on storing your coins I will find me one of those tubular units to pack my 43 cent to send it off to be graded .
8As the coin buyer stole several coins from, "me."" None where marked in plastic, as the last time I collected coins was back in Nineteen seventy three, but always added coins to my plastic x ice cream container.
As Allen went through them he was able to take RCMP quarters large bust with spots close to the Riis at sixty dollars , A1036 no dot, plus the only US coin, in the group that I placed in the twelve sectioned muffin tin....a.
"1944 steel double wheat shaft Lincoln Penney....... The owner Canadian Coins and Currency set up a meeting to get me to say that the coins never existed ...... and he and another manager questioned me if the coin was ever photographed and why I didn't have the 1944 coin labelled in plastic, and why I didn't have it registered, I stated that the reason why it wasn't photographed because I never thought that his son would lift coins , lift that coin with the help of the other crooks, that was home realized what I witnessed, but an old English chapter from Oliver.....
People are innocent until proven guilty, might suck in some situations but not a good thing telling people a certain company stole from you without proof.
Great advice - especially the bit about popping the coin out of the flip rather than removing the staples!
With the album's I USE plastic gloves to push coins in and to slide the Mylar back in, I saw you put your on fingers it and slid your fingerprint right over the coin. I then put my album's in a Ziploc with a dehumidifier. I made the jump to 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 cardboard flips for 1-25 cents you can get 30 to a page and the holes punched in are more consistently sized. I GOT the idea about a year ago to put my slabs like you showed in a Mylar sleeve used for baseball cards and then seal them with a foodsaver
The flat part, it is the edge that is thought to cause slide marks. I have yet to created a slide mark with an album slide insert.
Great info! In the electronics industry we always avoid storing components with silver-plated contacts or leads anywhere in the presence of kraft paper (cardboard). The sulfuric acid used in processing paper outgasses hydrogen sulfide when exposed to moisture - and can tarnish the silver plating.
Interesting
Very interesting! So for functional sake say I'm winding a transformer with silver magnet wire, i'm using kraft paper for inner layer insulation, there should be no problem yes? 😀😀
@@lincolnmicrophonellc "Super calendered" Kraft insulation paper is acid-free - processed without the use of sulfuric acid. It's also typically used only for oil-filled or very low-price commercial transformers which would be unlikely to use any silver in their construction other than maybe Sn96 solder. This comment kind of surprised me - as it happens I own a small military transformer company..
You should do a video on what tones coins. I use cigar boxes to store 2x2s
I've heard rice helps a lot like the silica packets to help with humidity
That's awesome. It takes moisture out of wet cellphones and that makes sense.THANK YOU
Great info like always! Have a great day Sir Daniel !
I think it is tar and other byproducts rather than the nicotine but good reason for collectors to quit smoking in any case... the clear 2x2 flips are the best IMHO.
Well my point is nicotine products usually don't come without the rest but any substance can react with coin alloy.
I keep them in capsules in a cool room is that bad? Also I have very valuable nickles and Lincoln cents I haven't had graded that I do use the foam on kind of worries me. Are there certain capsules I should refrain from using?
Room temp and away from humidity.
Hey Dan, i really respect ur opinion. So i wanted to ask u, i have my silver coins in ziplock mini bags. They are polypropylene & polyethylene but they are NOT polyvinyl (pvc) then they are put in the clear binder page that isnt pvc either. Is this, in ur opinion, a safe way to store my silver???
I don't recommend anything but mylar, but haven't seen problems with baggies.
Desert Dansco.com sells the cheapest Dansco albums and they are brand new
I am SORRY. What is your oppions on the NICKEL?Thank you DANNY ❤
What nickel?
Let’s just say coins store well with ammo for me
I use 2x2 and the plastic sleeves and put them in a binder
I was wondering what you thought of caps albums. Since they hold air tights not the coins themselves. My silver Rosevelt dimes in dansco have toning on the outside edge only. They are stored in a gun safe with a dehumidifier. I have had luck with the caps album but they are bulky.
I haven't used them so not sure on that.
Living in Washington state it's hard not to get humidity. I ruined a gold watch because of humidity. I have dansco folders with coins in them and have never had a toned coin in 35 years. The big question for me is at what age is the best time to sale your coins and not saddle your wife with the complication of having to get rid of your obsession.
I can't answer that one but a living will should be in order.
3 years ago and I just found you! An excellent presentation thank you. Down to earth not nerdy or snobby. Well done mate.
Whats wrong with nerdy
@@wendytestaburger8321 it is elitist peacocking.
Am new to coins. I needed to hear this info. Thanks for the share.
Very good uninformative video. I live in the south and have been doing several things wrong. Thanks so much.
You're welcom
What can you do if you sneezed or got your breath on a coin?
Very informative! love this channel!!!
Dansco sells slipcases for their albums. Is that alone sufficient to prevent toning? I'm assuming not, and will keep a ton of silica gel packets in my safe.
It's going to be how the album is stored.
But I thought toning is all the rage now... :) I capsule all my silver and 2x2 modern coins.
Toning is in two parts, desirable and not desirable and most people don't want toned coins. However nice toning does fetch a premium, but albums don't always toned coins nicely.
Another Super informative video! Couldn't ask for anything else, really do appreciate it... Thanks for taking the time to do what you do!
You're welcome
Thank you for so much information!!
Excellent information on storage. Very very good. Thanks Daniel!
Thank you and you're welcome
I have a point on the difference; 1) Investment/Numismatic coins or 2) Fun collections (Circulated coins).. I agree, if you are in the first group you MUST take all care to ensure minimal impact on the coin. If you are in the second group take care to not damage the coin IF IT IS NOT DAMAGED ALREADY. This topic comes up with people who metal detect - Clean it or leave it alone. If not cleaning it means you cannot tell what you have then MINIMAL CLEANING WITH NON-ABRASIVE methods then clean it until you can tell what you have THEN STOP. IF it has a possibility of high numismatic value then SEND IT TO A PROFESSIONAL. Thanks for the information. This is just MY opinion and in no way endorses cleaning or not cleaning. That is a personal choice and YOU must live with the consequences of YOUR choice.
What about cigar boxes or a humidor?
Glad I watched this one. Thanks.
How do I share picture of a coin with you?
Thank you Daniel for the 411 did not know that truly appreciate all that you give us look forward to the next video
You're welcome
Hello
I was wondering how you got them in albums.
Thanks for some much needed tips!!
What should I do to keep moisture out of my totes, I just want to be safe I’m not saying they have moisture in them
Silicon packs
I would like to put my high grade coins in my Indian book album but I'm scared that they would get damaged or tone in a ugly way. What album do you recommend is the best for AU - MS Indian heads ? I don't want a whole bunch of NGC/PCGS slabs. They take up too much space and cost a ton to grade. Plus Having a complete book is just a nice feeling
I like those square card board ones with the plastic in the middle ones my dad has some good coins that's been in those for years. Where could I buy those at at a reasonable price
You can buy them anywhere. We sell them on our website I linked in the description of the video. We charge $3.50 per 100 and then shipping.
I hate boogered coins.
I've just recently come across this channel. I have learned soooo much...thanks
You're welcome and thank you!
