Most of my collection is already in 2’x2’ flips
I have tons of Proof Sets
I only have several coins
I just inherited a whole bunch of coins and I’m not sure where to start

Excellent. What type of US Coins would you like to protect and/or display today?

Morgan (or Peace) Large Dollars
Small Dollars (Presidential, SBA, Sacagewea)
Half Dollars (Kennedy)
Quarters (Washington, State, National Park)
Dimes (Mercury, Roosevelt)
Nickels (Buffalo, Jefferson)
Cents (Lincoln, Wheat, Indian Head)
Various types of Coins

Got it! I’m sure we can help get you in the right direction. Are you looking to:

Organize and protect the coins so I can keep them for a while
I would like to just display them in a case – they are beautiful!
I’d really like to just sell them

OK we completely understand.

Rather than just take a box of coins to a Coin Dealer to get an appraisal, it is best to try and organize your coins by Country, or if they look they are all US coins, organize them by denomination and by year. You could then take them to a local coin dealer in individual boxes. (And by the way we do not buy or sell the coins themselves)

BUT if you really want to get the most value out of the coins, we suggest putting them into 2x2 Coin Holders. These come in various sizes to fit the coins you need and you are able to put notes on the cardboard portion to further understand and document what you have. Once you’ve done that, then you would be more prepared to contact a coin dealer and let them know what and how many coins you have.

I would like to look at some 2x2 coin holders
My coins are already in holders, I’m considering a case instead to help display and sell them.
Still not sure what to do? Contact us at 877-395-SAFE and we would be happy to discuss your options

Great - you’ve come to the right place!

First we would suggest placing the coins in either 2x2 coin holders or plastic capsules to protect them individually. We have many different types available and they are all designed to fit each coin perfectly. Which type/style would you like to see?

Cardboard Coin Holders (Soft)
Coin Capsules (Round Hard Plastic)
Square Coin Capsules (Hard Plastic)
Most of the coins I have are already in holders, can you show me some nice cases.
I really was looking for an Album of some kind to put them in

We have some great albums to choose from depending on your collection:

My coins are in 2x2 Coin Holders
My coins are in Certified/Graded Slabs
My coins are in Plastic (Round) Capsules
My coins are in their natural/raw state

Great! How much space do you have?

Plenty of space
Space is at a premium

Got it! What is most important when you are thinking about storage?

Easy removal of coins
Ability to view both sides of the coin without removing
Discreet
Attractive
Space saving design
Expandable

OK – last question! What will be your main use?

Viewing the coins without touching
Something sturdy with drawers
Nice presentation unit for my desk
Travel and transport
Most economical storage possible

Stamps/Covers

Welcome fellow Philatelist – we’re happy to help! Can you tell us a little about your collection?

I have stamps from the US and/or other Countries
I collect mostly FDC’s and Covers
I collect Mint Sheets of Stamps
I collect Plate Blocks of Stamps
I’m getting ready to sell my stamps and would like to organize them
I just inherited a stamp collection and not really sure where to get started

Got it! I’m sure we can help get you in the right direction.

You can organize them in what is called a Stockbook. This is a blank, hardbound book, with strips on each page so you can insert the stamps individually. Typically people will organize them initially by country and/or year. That is usually the easiest and most economical way to get started just to understand what it is you have. Our stockbooks come in various sizes depending on how many stamps you have.
If your stamps are all from one country, we may want to consider our Hingeless Country Albums (images printed of each stamp issued by that country with individual pockets for each stamp).
Still not sure what to do? Contact us at 877-395-SAFE and we would be happy to help you get organized. (By the way, we do not buy or sell stamps themselves)

Got it! We can definitely help you with that. We would suggest organizing them by country and/or year of issue in either:

Hardbound Stockbooks (Each page has multiple strips on a page allowing you to insert your stamps and organize many stamps with ease)
Approval Cards (Individual cards that many stamp dealers use to sell stamps at coins show or submit for grading)

Great, we have many solutions to show you. What type of stamp album would you prefer?

Hingeless Country Album (pictures of every stamp printed on the background page with individual pockets for stamps)
Ringbinder where I can add different types of stock page styles (most flexible)
I want to exhibit my stamps at local shows or online and would like to customize the pages
Hardbound Stockbook with strips to slide my stamps into (most economical solution)

Great choice! This provides you with the most options and flexibility going forward. OK last question we promise! What size would you like the binder to be:

12” x 12” Our Classic 14-ring system (Widest variety of page options)
9” x 12” Our Collecto 4-ring system (Many page styles and most economical)
9” x 10” Our Variant 11-ring system (Great selection if you have a number of Covers also)

Great! Of course there are many sizes of covers out there. Are you looking for:
