Preserving rare coins helps maintain their condition and value. While professional storage is available, many Naperville collectors prefer to store coins at home. Knowing how to store them properly is key to preventing damage or long-term wear.

Use these home storage tips:

• Avoid PVC materials – Use holders made of acid-free materials to prevent chemical reactions.
• Control temperature and humidity – Store in a cool, dry place to avoid tarnish and corrosion.
• Limit handling – Use gloves to prevent oils from your fingers affecting the coin’s surface.
• Use individual holders – Keep coins separated to avoid scratches and friction damage.
• Secure your storage – A fire-resistant safe adds an extra layer of protection against theft or disaster.

Caring for your coins properly helps retain both their appearance and market value.
