How To Care For Your Coin Collection

• Always hold your coin by the edges, since dirt and oil can damage your coin collection over time.
• Never clean rare and valuable coins. Cleaning rare and valuable coins may leave marks and lower their value.
• For ordinary coins, clean in soapy water, rinse well, and wipe with a cotton ball to dry.
• Store your coin collection with care. Never use anything that will scratch, like a cardboard surface. Many coin collectors use coin books to store their coins. Even better, try storing your coins in non-PVC envelopes. You can put the envelopes into boxes and you’ll be able to label the envelopes and see both sides of the coins.
