Coin Collectors? Anyone out there?

[Elijah]

Good tips. I recently bought some paper coin flips to put Mine in, but I am not sure if it is going to be cost effective to do that as My collection grows, especially with coins that have already been circulated. I have also seen plastic sheets that house maybe 20 coins per sheet so they can be viewed without being handled.

Papa--good idea...at one time i had a teller that would call me and let me know when they had eisenhower dollars and half dollars. i was keeping my coins separated by denomination in cardboard cigar boxes,but i recently found wooden ones for a buck a piece so im about to switch to those.

just some advice i found very useful was to keep ur coins in plastic coin rolls--made for all denominations..it keeps them from rubbing against each other and scratching themselves up.
