When you collect coins, you want to keep those coins in as mint condition as possible. Mint condition means that the coins don’t have any marks or nicks and that they look just as shiny as they did when they came off the mint. You won’t keep them in mint condition very long if you just keep them in a jar, or in a can beside or under your bed. Some people like to keep them in tiny plastic sleeves but these are hard to keep track of; especially if you have a lot of them. Instead, why not keep your coins in a coin collecting book instead of boxes? A coin book protects your coins by keeping it behind a plastic sheathe. What’s more, your coin collecting book will keep your coins together and the book is a great way to show your collection off to anyone who is curious.
