How Do You Store Your Coins

[Shamatti]

Dude I already did but you doidn't like it 'cos it was an Australian shop. I haven't lived in England for 4 yeras, I have no idea who sells what over their. But follow those google links to WH Smith and John Lewis and you will find dozens of pencil cases just the same. Better yet - pop in to WH Smiths next time you are in town. Take an empty coin capsule with you. This is what I did here in Australia until I finaly found something that fit.

I will do that, Just hope that the staff dont think Im wierd for putting plastic in pencil cases. Might need to use the "Its for my younger brother" excuse.

CurryMuncher you might want to try one of the pound shops, although they may be all plastic and not cloth/canvas based. Let em know how you get on as I am not able to look for another 2 weeks.

And why are you up this late, my excuse is I am at work in Qatar!!

Cheers

The top ones with red caps and the white square ones are from Air tites in the US http://www.air-tites.com/

and the see through coin tubes in the bottom picture are on Amazon UK

I have a couple of these red tubes that I use for some Perth mint coins. Bought them from air tites. Have to say, shipping was ridiculous!

I am also planning to get a lighthouse coin case to display some of my coins.

I have a fireproof safe lined with black anti tarnishing felt and a whole load of silica gel packets. My silver is going to stay shinny of 1000's of years.

Yes I checked the site out and found shipping rather expensive. I will try the pencil cases as they will be cheap and if I don't like them I can give them to the girls. But you should be able to get something like that in the UK.

As an aside does any know of or have any of the NGC storage cases that the slabs would be shipped in. i am looking for a couple.

 

Let me know

Boys, pencil cases and phone cases?

Have some respect for the silver!!!!

Ha ha.

[SilverPirate]

It's just treasure me hearty arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

[CurryMuncher69]

Infact I reckon Its Genius. Once My stack becomes valuable (in the thousands) I will stick them in old pencil cases, suitcases e.t.c, and have a 2 safes out in the main bedrooms, filled with clad, silver and gold coins/bars. So If  anything does happen the thiefs would think they hit the jackpot 

[SilverPirate]

The clad rubbish is a good idea,hopefully the thief would get caught in the process, but if not they might come back for the real stuff once they realize,  so maybe a sacrificial small stack of real bullion say 1oz bars is better.

Also splitting the stack into smaller increments hidden in multiple places is better, would take time to locate all and i wager shipmate not all would be found and it would bring time for us so the thief would have more time to be caught.If he could get passed my dog that is.

Sham, you keep your silver in ladies fishnets.

Hope you washed them first buddy, or your silver is gonna get toned!!!

[ChrisSilver]

How are the edges on the air tite capsules, are they nice like the Perth mint capsules, or are they like the lighthouse ones with overlapping edges. I have a few coins that came in these crappy capsules, as well as a couple in flips.

I want to transfer into the nicest capsules I can find to display them in a case. Are the air tite capsules the best around?

[Danny-boy]

I reckon they probably are mate.

I haven't looked deep into it, but haven't noticed a UK vendor for Airtite stuff.

[doogs]

I actually like the lighthouse capsules. They serve the purpose of protecting the coin and are relatively easy to get apart if needed.

I stored the bullion in what it comes with.

The 90% junk, and lose bullion tubes, I store in icecream boxes, the more expensive ice comes in a kind box that closes airtight.

Especially the 90% junk looks good, open the lid and it's like you wun the lottery
