Sales posts are welcome. Inspired by the old ancientcoins subreddit, memes and jokes are only allowed on the last day of the month.

I general, just be nice to each other :)

Ah, I see. the most “effort” I’ve put into protecting my coins are the cardboard with a hole in the middle with staples and plastic over the hole, mostly to keep the coin grip-able and in one place. I can’t stand slabbing something unless it’s been graded as uncirculated.

I store mine in trays in a coin suitcase, which works fine. I make sure the felt is acid free and so on, but they're not inside slabs or holders. I want to be able to touch them 😂
