Keeping coins in prime condition over many years requires careful storage and handling. Small mistakes can cause permanent damage and reduce their value.

Preservation practices include:

• Use archival-quality holders – These prevent chemical reactions that could harm the coin’s surface.
• Maintain a controlled environment – Avoid high humidity and extreme temperatures.
• Limit exposure to air – Airtight containers can slow tarnishing.
• Handle minimally – When necessary, wear clean gloves to prevent contamination.
• Avoid direct light – Prolonged exposure can cause fading or discoloration.

Applying these measures consistently can help retain both the visual appeal and monetary worth of your coins over time.
