How do people store their 1oz and 2oz capsuled coins

[Deputydog]

Hi, I hope everybody is well.

I was wondering how people store their 1oz and 2oz capsuled coins.

I bought a coin album but the pockets are too small.

Are the boxes with foam inserts any good and can anybody recommend one.

Thanks for everybody's help.

There are some ideas in these two threads

I can second Keith's old recommendation - those plastic containers from the Home Bargains shop here in the UK are very effective and cheap to store your capsules.  Nice they come with little plastic dividers within them so nothing rattles around.

With gold it is much easier, an old OXO tin normally is adequate for most {sigh}

You can buy coin capsule tubes just like the mint tubes

I really have very little capsuled stuff now, but i just put each one in a bubblewrap envelope and seal.

For coins which I collect and want to have a look at from time to time, I use a lighthouse case which holds 7 trays x 24 giving 168 coins total per case.

For everything else which are duplicates/volume hold then I use Air-Tite tubes since I don't need access to them and are just bulk stored.

I store mine in oversize plastic tubes that only seem to be available from the US which is a shame as it makes them expensive, I put them in capsules then store them in the tubes.  'H' model coin tubes is what they are called.

 

Edit - thats them Morezone has pictured above, if anyone knows where to get these cheaper than ordering from the US please let me know.

I use a combination of all the above.

Some collections are in Meinmunzboxes of various sizes, the more valuable ones are in Lighthouse Leuchtturm trays http://www.coingallery.co.uk/lighthouse-coin-trays-28-c.asp, they interlock, are slim and fit in the safe. Cheaper semi-nums are in the cheap plastic trays from Home Bargains (you can get around 190 - 200 in one) and really cheap stuff is in plastic bags chucked in the drawer of a filing cabinet.

@morezone actually stocks them. Just ordered some myself in fact

See: 

 

As for myself; the "main collection" (kooks, koalas, lunars, etc) go in Lighthouse/Leuchtturm binders with Encap sheets, basically plastic binder sheets that can hold coin capsules.

Binder: https://www.leuchtturm.com/ringbinder-grande-classic-design-incl-slipcase.html
Sheets: https://www.leuchtturm.com/plastic-sheets-encap.html

the rest in airtite tubes.

My main collections are in Meinemunz boxes , spare numismatics and bullion are in relevant tubes inside sealed  monster boxes

If you bought a album I guess, you wish to look at them once and a while.

Then for albums their other inserts/pages you use, lighthouse/Numis/Leuchtturm have something called encap, which is pages you clip in capsules.

or use boxes, in a model you fancy.

If it is coins you don't need to admire. I think is @morezone that had the nice idea, to vacuum pack them. This I also started with, with coins that I will have sitting for some time. Hopefully this will help keep the coins in mint state.
