Boost Your Portfolio with Coin Supplies
Choosing the right coin supplies has gotten complicated with all the holder types, material debates, and storage options flying around. As someone who has reorganized collections multiple times with different supplies, I learned everything there is to know about protecting your coins properly. Today, I will share it all with you.
Why Supplies Matter
Probably should have led with this section, honestly—improper storage destroys coin value. PVC-containing holders cause green slime damage. Environmental exposure causes toning and corrosion. Quality supplies protect your investment.
Essential Supplies
That’s what makes supply selection endearing to us careful collectors:
- 2×2 cardboard flips: Cheap, effective for most coins
- Hard plastic holders: Better protection, higher cost
- Albums: Display-friendly organization
- Tubes: Bulk storage for similar coins
What to Avoid
- Soft PVC flips (check labels for “PVC-free”)
- Rubber bands touching coins
- Paper envelopes for long-term storage
- Cleaning supplies (don’t clean coins!)
Storage Environment
Keep coins in stable temperatures with low humidity. A climate-controlled closet beats an attic or garage. Silica gel packets help in humid climates.
