Welcome back to the American Numismatic Association channel! Rod Gillis, ANA Education Director, is here to guide you through the intricate world of coin storage. If you've been following our Video Vignettes, you've learned about collecting and purchasing coins. Today, we're diving into the essential topic of storing your precious collection.

There are two key aspects to consider: the physical storage method and the location where you'll keep your coins. Rod breaks down various storage options and offers invaluable tips to ensure your coins remain safe and secure.

Starting with physical storage, Rod explores inexpensive options like coin tubes and cardboard flips. While economical, these methods have their drawbacks, such as limited visibility and potential for coin damage. Moving up the ladder, albums provide a convenient way to display coins as sets, though they may only showcase one side at a time.

For enhanced protection, plastic holders and third-party grading services offer secure encasement and professional authentication, albeit at a higher cost. From basic to premium, the choice depends on your collection's value and presentation preferences.

Now, let's talk about where to store your coins. While many collectors opt for home storage, security concerns arise. Rod advises on safeguarding your collection by choosing inconspicuous hiding spots or investing in a sturdy safe, emphasizing flame retardant features for added protection against fire damage.

For those with high-value collections, a safety deposit box at a bank offers maximum security, albeit with limited access. Rod shares a crucial tip: opt for a box positioned higher in the bank's vault to minimize potential damage from cleaning chemicals.

Whether you store your coins at home or in a bank, the priority is ensuring their safety while maintaining accessibility for your enjoyment.
