Sort of a silly question I'm sure but where/what do you guys/gals keep your "keeper" coins in? do you just roll them once you get enough and mark them? Right now they're sitting in my "don't freaking touch me" coin jar. But i'm curious to see what you keeps yours in

I roll my wheat cents, copper canadian cents, and 1940's-1950's nickels. I keep all of my foreign coins in a bag. I have coin albums that I work on and the extra coins get rolled. Then I have all of my silver coins that aren't in albums in an old wooden cigar box.
 

2x2 holders:

Buffalo Nickels/war nicks/v nickels.
Better date/better condition wheats
Indian heads(all)
All proof halves.
Commemoratives
Standin liberty quarters (only found two so far >:(
Silver foreign coins/old foreign

Plastic bags:
Wheats
Foreigns
Ike's
Silver dimes
Silver quarters

Wicka
 

I use 2x2s for my good keepers which includes my varieties, errors, key/semi keys and really nice looking coins. I probably should 2x2 my MS63+ wheat pennies, but just about all my wheat pennies are in this one gallon coca cola syrup jar from the 1940s I picked up at a garage sale for 50c.
 

All my silver is in plastic tubes and then put into a 50 cal ammo can. For a quick getaway
 

I put all of my silver in paper rolls and then lock them up in my safe. My copper gets put into Folgers cans. Anything that will go into a Dansco gets put into a Dansco. :cat:
 

Being the courteous hunter that I am, after I accumulate a few rolls worth I return them to the wild for others to find. It's amazing that all of you could be so selfish as to keep your finds to yourself...

Nah, I keep them in:
Common condition 90%er's in a miniature treasure chest.
Nice condition 90%er's in tubes
All 40%er's in a 2x2x3.5" box. ( I need a bigger box because I have about 150ish right now and it completely full.)
war nickels in a small box
Wheats into glass jars
foreign coins and foreign silvers into separate boxes
Any coins of numismatic value into 2x2 coin flips.

All of this including coin books and proof sets go into a larger treasure chest.

Hahaha I thought you were being serious for a second!
 

plastic tubes.

glad to see people are still rolling them in plain paper wrappers, increases the chances that I will get one of those rolls one day!
 

Have all junk silver in canvas bags- anything vaguely collectable or more valuable than spot in 2x2 flips

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking
 

in the last 4 or 5 tears i have been findings lots of tokens, modern, from carwash, laundry, casino's....ect. some of these are made to look like old coins, spainish and other, when i first started finding these my heart would almost stop when i found one, not so much now, if the detector didnt say gold or silver and i dig up a re'al or a glold colored coin i know its a token, i thought the treasure chest thing was cool, iam going out to find one to put these tokens in
BIG SCOTT
 

I spread my stash out in small batches for my own personal piece of mind. I have been searching for years and I want to make it as difficult as possible for the thieves if they come calling.
 

wheats in a coffee can, all the other coins in whitman plastic coin tubes.
 

All over the house, in too many places to list. Not a move on purpose to dissuade a potential thief, just sheer lack of organization.
 

interesting answers...so for the novice rookie that I am...why do we keep pennies in a coffee can? why not a glass jar?
 

I dump all my silvers in an old glass milk bottle that I picked up in the woods a few years ago. . . my really nice coins are in plastic holders.
