The Importance of Archival Quality Coin Supplies
Frequently Asked Questions
What supplies do I need to start collecting coins?
Start with four basics: PVC-free holders to protect each coin (2x2 flips or capsules), an album or case to organize them, a 5x to 10x magnifier for checking details, and cotton or nitrile gloves so skin oils never touch the coin. Add a digital caliper once you start buying holders in specific sizes.
Should I use coin capsules, 2x2 flips, or slabs?
It depends on the coin's value and how you'll use it. 2x2 flips are the most affordable way to protect and label large numbers of coins. Airtight capsules fully seal the coin, which makes them the better choice for proof and high-grade coins. Slabs are sealed holders from grading services like PCGS and NGC, and they store best in slab cases or slab album pages. Shop coin holders and capsules.
What is the best coin album?
For most collectors, a ring-binder album with transparent coin pages is the most flexible choice, because you can mix pages for capsules, 2x2 flips, and graded slabs in one binder. The Collecto 4-Ring and Compact 4-Ring are SAFE's most popular coin albums, and both grow with your collection one page at a time.
How should I handle coins without damaging them?
Hold a coin by its edges, never its faces, and wear cotton or nitrile gloves. Work over a clean, flat surface, and never clean a coin: cleaning leaves fine scratches that can permanently lower its value.
Do you have coin display cases with a glass top?
Yes. Wood & Glass Top coin display cases and Nova Riker Display Cases have a clear lid, so you can show your coins without handling them. They come sized for everything from U.S. dollars and Morgan dollars to graded slabs and proof sets. Keep display cases out of direct sunlight. Shop coin display cases.
