Keeping Coins Clean Using a Folder
The price of an antique item goes up if it is kept in good condition. By having it stored in a safe place, one can be sure that it will not be damaged by the elements or by negligence that will reduce its value in the market.
Coins are easy to take care off. For those who have been doing this for years, such collections are usually framed or under glass and are often seen in places such as a large museum. But to individuals who are just starting out, putting it in an old shoe box or jar will do.
Later, when the collection is larger, it is time to invest in a coin folder that would better protect and hold the coins. These folders can be bought in different sizes depending on the type of coins the individual is collecting. The coins can be stored in individual plastic pockets or in sheets that make up the album. They are available at the local coin store or can be ordered from the web. The advantage of using these is that they are handy to carry around make it easy for the person to show. These can be brought to exhibits and other venues where the coins can be traded, sold or exchanged with coins that other people may have.
Keeping the coins in mint condition does not only mean storing them in a folder. Whenever the person adds a new coin to the collection, it is ideal to first have it cleaned before putting it in with the others.
This can be done by taking it to a coin shop and paying for the services, or if you prefer to do it yourself, is by soaking it in a liquid such as vinegar, rubbing alcohol, lemon juice or ammonia which is sure to remove any dirt or encrustation that are present when it was acquired.
They should then be air-dried or patted dry with a soft cloth. It is not a good idea to rub or polish the coins since scratches can occur that may decrease its value in the market.
Serious coin collectors value the importance of storing these valuables in a safe and secure area. By investing in a coin folder, the person can be sure that the value of the coins will go up either when the demand calls for it or when there is a need to part with them.

Robbery update: They jacked a glass/metal 'security' door out of its frame with a crowbar.Yes, they got valuables. Anyone selling a mac?
No, he cannot, unless very specific language in the lease agreement allowed for this type of action — and even then, I'm not 100% sure such an arrangement would hold up in court. Unpaid rent does not legalize burglary, and it sounds like that's what's happened to you. I would call the police at once. If the landlord wants to recoup his rent money, he can do so legally, through the courts. He has no right to seize your property as if he were the IRS. DON'T WAIT to contact someone about this.

thanks for the wonderful video. it really helped me.
Put them in a Ziploc bag and carry them on your back or fanny pack. If you can't do that, go somewhere private that no one can see, take a rope with you, toss the rope on a high, overhead branch, attached the bag to one end of the rope and then use the other end to hoist the bag up high where people won't see. Then you can tie off the end of the rope to a bottom portion of the tree and shield the rope from view with branches and brush in the area.
If this doesn't work either, dig a pit and bury it under a bit of dirt and some leaves.
I'd recommend the tree if its animals you want to keep it safe from, but the pit is good if you want to keep it from people.
Good luck and have fun.
PS: Just remember to cover everything in plastic before you leave it in case of rainstorms and if you have food, to help block animals from smelling it and trying to get at it while you're gone. Trash bags, shopping bags, etc. If you use many layers, they should stay safe.
