Sorting Through Bulklots

[ausjack]

If you do buy some bulk lots and plan to do them later CP make sure you get any that look yucky out and put in a separate bag because you could go to look and find the green death has spread or any other crap might transfer and that would be heart breaking

The only thing I really need to determine is the best way to store them for a few years.

This is what I use, cheap as chips, keeps them separate and at around a cent a coin (deilvered) ...... to me it's a bargain. (Anyone that has bought coins from me will have seen them in the packaging).

This is who I get them from. Have had great service so far.

i have always been told to snip a hole in the bag so that the coins can breathe
so i do that to my placcy bags
but now i prefer to use cellophane bags and have been using them for years now for when i sort my coins into groups etc

:mocking: You know they're not alive RG :angel:
Yes I know what you meant

[coxspau]

Whether it's the ziplock or cellophane bags, do you simply store one coin per bag and store it away until it's time to sift through them?

[ausjack]

I just have mine sorted into years and then put in the little bags you get from the bank. They have a breather hole already :winkextra:

[robbiegal]

i do much the same

AJ your bank bags have holes in them
it stops the coins sweating

i also roll mine into rolls and nip them up in the cellophane - they look nice too
i don't use paper or soft plastic for long term storage anymore

[ausjack]

They breath, they sweat, they're alive :zomby: sorry :angel:

I don't use paper either and the little bag aren't for long term storage but know me they probably will be in them longer than I planned
