CARE AND STORAGE Old coins and banknotes are unique and irreplaceable treasures. Before having any ideas about attempting to clean them, please do your research. What you do you cannot undo! Even water can change the way they look forever. So please please please before doing anything read, watch videos, multiple if necessary as different people can have different opinions and most importantly the coins are not the same (just because cleaning one kind of bronze coins in a specific way is ok, it doesn’t mean it will be fine for all bronze coins and so on). So just be careful. As for storage, there are many good options available, just try to keep in mind that whatever you end up choosing should be acid-free and pvc-free, as normal paper and plastic have chemicals on the surface which can and will damage coins and banknotes if they stay in contact for a long time. In general, anything from well-known brands such as Lindner, Lighthouse, Guardhouse etc are a good go to, velvet-lined trays within a coin cabinet are also a nice option :) —We add new listings every day, you are welcome to check out the other listings in our store 😊Many thanks!
