Many articles-dread the alternative that day and some never get to it! But it is necessary to make the annual inspection and inventory of coins. Do not believe me? Already found three coins, I forgot to remove the vinyl flip, that they were shipped in and they start to get the Green tint of PVC (softener for plastics) already begins to Leach on coins.
Still whining? Come on folks, its dead of winter! What you must do. Believe me, when I say its healthy for collection, your mind and soul! So without further hesitation Let's begin ...
Inspect those flips. They are hard and brittle? Cracking? Is flip the vinyl acetate-in any way? If you answered Yes to any of these questions, then its time to change this holder. If you are unlucky as me and there are some PVC Leach on the coin will have acetone bath. If you do not know how to make this simple. Buy pure acetone (Walmart has some in the beauty, but make sure it is 100% pure) and a gallon of distilled water. Your coins in acetone is for only for a few seconds and then rinse with distilled water. Quick dry coin (Pat and never rub) with a soft cotton cloth. Do not leave the coin air dry as water droplets will leave stains of the coin.
Well given time these paperboard. Torn is the mylar? Staple b?lbukvane? If you use self-sealing glue types have become otlepva? Coins begin to change color? If the answer is Yes, then change this holder!
Use coins pages? Pages can stretch overtime and must not be ignored. Inspect each coin from tugging any holder in each pocket. Does it slip easily? If so it is time to replace this page. How for seams of each Pocket? There are some torn?
Whats this? You say you use coin albums and this does not apply to you? How to fit, even getting to wear over time. Feeling all of the coins are continuously slipping from their slots, sliding behind leatherette cover? Split is the glue of leatherette paperboard? If you run into any of these problems then fix is a little stricter. You will need to contact the manufacturer or vendor to see whether the replacement pages. Most of this should be okay, but if they don't you will have to make difficult decision.
How about desiccants (like Silicon packages). If you use these is more than likely that he was thrown in and forgotten about. Bad news was already effective. But don't worry, check with the manufacturer of desiccant, since most can be redistributed by simply drying them dry in the oven. Note: do not do this unless the manufacturer gives YOU DIRECTIONS on how to do SO.
You think you have the most organized collection of coins around and very well may be true, but this does not mean you should not do once anyway.
The first is loose coins, we all have at least one placed on a desk or shelf expected for us to do something. Well? Do something!
The second is the neatness. Look at your options for storage, it is time to confront these albums? You may label these fields? How to smoothly stacking everything in that Safe?
With the help of coin software program, excel, database, or pen and paper? Up to date? Do I need to add another attribute to make a little easier to find? Some useful identifications, I have seen are where your coins are stored (field # 2, album # 1 page 4 bank safety deposit box, etc.). Other useful attribute is, if the coin is part of a set (20th century type fixed, Lincoln cents album, etc.)
So you've ordered and organized your coins, but still you like what you have? Collection of interests to change overtime and you might have a coin, which is already in and became a real pain, each time you make annual organizing. By this time, you really should ask yourself if you really want coin or are you simply coin hoarder (known as the Rat Pack)? You can try to sell those oddballs collection by trader or auction (such as e-Bay), but if you're not comfortable with this then why not try the trade? Many traders of coin the concerts are open to trade and there are many online communities, where colleagues coin collectors swap coins daily.
This is the insurance man! I pray this never happens to you, but coins may be stolen or damaged by a house fire, Tornado, or other natural disaster, which means you will have to deal with the insurance company. To help this process of collecting all of your receipts and paste them in a fireproof box, together with pictures of your coins. You have not flame-retardant field? How to scan and burn to a CD to a friend or relatives House? If you don't have a scanner then I recommend using a bank safety deposit box.
