Poll Question:
I have decided to run a poll on how best to store my copper cents. currently I am storing $50 fv in cloth bags sealed with #1 copper wire I could start sewing up the ends this will help with the stacking problem.
pros and cons
cloth bag
pros: won't rip open very easy will last for years will dry if gotten wet
cons: have to seal them up with copper wire or get a sewing machine. does not stack very neatly heavier then plastic bag
plastic bag
pros: easy carry handle built in stacks very easy and neat lighter then cloth bags. should keep coins dry
cons: not sure how long they will last if stored in cool spot rip pretty easy If coins get wet will they dry?
well if anyone else has some tips pros or cons please chime in. ps vote.
Selling Ryedale sorted USA cents 1.5 each + shipping over 500fv 1.5 each +1/2 shipping If you pick up 1.35 each located MT/ND boarder. after Ryedale sorting they are hand sorted to remove canadian then rechecked with Ryedale to insure all copper and count out $50 FV then placed in cloth bags and sealed with #1 copper wire.
do you have a free supply of these things? neither are free for me, but plastic is cheaper.
personally i store them in penny boxes taped up ready.
I still have about 100 empty cloth bags my bank switched over to plastic and I get all my coins in plastic bags now (cloth before gave a LOT away) most of the time the bags are unsealed (as pur my request) so I can reuse them when needed.
so yes both bags are free.

Find someone with cats and use the empty kitty litter tubs. Go to a restaurant you may frequent oftn and get their old 5 gallon buckets. I have a tenant that runs a deli and throws awayabout 5 buckets a week. That's approx 250 a yr. Not that hard to save you one or 2 I'm sure. Pizzerias and chinese restaurants have a lot too.
