An important part of your coin collection is protecting your investment or savings.
The value of the coin does not come only from the silver and gold content but also comes from the images that are struck on the coin. Protecting the design of the coins give them a little more value than just the silver and gold content.
In order to protect these amazing pieces, some people use cardboard holders with a plastic window, and some will even put them in slab holders.
Most people put them in Air-Tites.
Air-Tite coin capsules are PVC free, archival safe, and are made from an acrylic plastic with a non-yellowing agent. This process results in a product that is hard, crystal clear, and smooth to the touch.
One thing to consider is the cost of air-tites. And you got to factor that into your cost when you are buying your gold or silver.
Except for a select type of coins, most coins come in flips. Flips are okay, but if you want to keep them for a long time, you need something sturdier. Like an air-tite. And you can even out then in tubes or some container such as a box.
My silver coins that are one-piece-each are in air-tites and in a box. I have some silver that is part of an ongoing collection and these and in air-tites and then kept in coin capsule tubes.
The majority of my silver are in coin tubes without any air-tite, such as the American Siver Eagles and 1/10 oz American Gold Eagles.
It is how and if you are going to protect your coins.
For me (and I have not sold any of my coins yet), I will definitely want to protect my gold coins.
I protect them with air-tites and placed them in coin capsule tubes.
These air-tites are 22 mm with black rings and it is for 1/4 ounce gold coins.
Beside it is my 1/10 ounce Gold I showed recently. It is amazing how 6 mm makes a whole lot of difference in size!
You can get air-tites from just about anywhere.
Protect your investment. Air-tite capsules snap together firmly to form a tight seal securing your coin for long term storage.
