How do you store your coins

lacey · June 23, 2013, 04:20:11 PM

do you save a set as from 1966 to present, with all coins or keep a separate set for comm and special coins by themselves?

I have sets from 1910 to present and they are all sorted by denomination, e.g. penny's with penny's and 50 cents with 50 cents.
I include the proofs , silver proofs and commeratives with the same denomination in yearly order.

I don't have enough for all that
so I just do year runs of sets I suppose, like a type set
i.e. 1963 halfpenny through to florin, 1966 - 1 cent through to 50c

My coin albums consist of years 1966 - present. Circulated and year mint sets only. 1c to 50c
All other commemorates or special releases are separate.

My dollars are sorted in 2x2's in album pages 1984-2013 mob of roos always first csbm hadp mintmarks in that order when applicable, the rest after that. There's too many :shout: I am bored with it but continue I must.

I don't do any of the other denominations, well not as a set, I buy what I like but I'm not compelled and they stay in their Mint packaging.

Crikey PP you must have ALL of these $1 coins that's why you are bored :angel:

I only "Got serious" with these little suckers a few months back and am having a whale of a time hunting them down at the moment :yahoo:
I do admit that it is a far larger undertaking to get them all than I envisaged when I first started on them :dash1;

Oh Trout and I'm only doing the unc 25mm alum bronze. Your task of ALL dollars is bamboozling.

Mister T · June 23, 2013, 07:06:52 PM

I only put circulating stuff in albums (the rest stays in its packaging and separate) and sort by denomination rather than by year.

yeah and he should own the Mint so that he can afford to buy all those coins.

tell me trout, are you also collecting Perth mint $1 coins?

Thats mostly what I have done but admit to removing some to fill the gaps in my collection, be that 20c or $1 etc.

I've got most of my single coins in PP flipflaps and in the lighthouse boxes.

I have a few of these but they don't form a part of the dollar collection, They are the wrong size.
When I get the dollar coins up to date I will tackle something easy like the 50 cent coins :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

ausjack · June 24, 2013, 08:51:57 AM

I'm still trying to work that one out so I'm all over the shop

lacey · June 24, 2013, 09:52:21 AM

yep me too.

If only there were some other things more important but then what could be more important than coin collecting and making up sets. lol

trout · June 24, 2013, 10:06:09 AM

This works well for Me :ok:

coxspau · June 24, 2013, 10:19:07 AM

It appears my style is a bit of a hybrid. Like trout, I package and store (2x2) my coins by denomination. Unless the coins come in sealed mint packaging, in which case they remain packaged. And like PP, I've resorted to a standard set of annual coins to collect, while only being unique commemoratives when they have appeal.

All my coins are stored in DANSCO Supreme Albums and are stored in order of issue. I have all my pre dicecimal circulated set, Decimal UNC and Used all stored this way.

All my $1 coins, Alum-Br 25 mm diametres only, all stored the same way.

All other coins are stored in the boxes that they are issued in.

Several of my more valuable coins, both pre decimal and decimal are stored in a safety deposit box in town.
