Proper care is key to keeping your coins valuable. Even small scratches or smudges can lower a coin’s grade. Always handle coins by the edges—never touch the surface. Use soft gloves if possible, especially for uncirculated or high-grade pieces.

Store coins in acid-free holders or plastic flips designed for coin protection. Avoid PVC-based sleeves, which can damage coins over time. If you have graded coins, leave them in their slabs to prevent wear and maintain their certified condition.

Keep coins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity. Don’t clean them—harsh cleaning can ruin surfaces and hurt resale value. Whether you’re collecting for fun or building long-term value, careful storage makes a big difference.
