Collecting euro coins is a popular hobby. If you’re only collecting loose coins, finding a storage solution is relatively simple since the coins are uniform in size. However, when your collection includes coin cards, which can vary greatly in size, finding a suitable solution becomes more complicated and certainly more expensive. The better organized the collection, the more effort it requires.
SAFE’s long-time customer, Mihkel, shares why he collects, what he collects, and which SAFE products he has chosen to archive, organize, and display his collection of €2 coins.
““I’ve been seriously involved in numismatics for about six years now, and collecting €2 commemorative coins, coin cards, and coin sets is what excites me the most because there are many different variants and new releases keep coming out. From the beginning, I collected loose coins from rolls, stored them in capsules, and used various boxes or cases for storage. Over time, I became interested in coin cards and sets, which were mostly left on shelves or in cupboards gathering dust, and I didn’t like that. I wanted a system that not only looked good but also provided a dust- and light-free environment for my collection.
I started researching the best ways to store cards and sets, and I came across the website safe-album.ee, where everything I needed was available, along with descriptions of what would fit into each type of page or album. I selected the products I was interested in and contacted Marko to learn more about them, as I didn’t want to buy a ‘pig in a poke’. The customer service was, and still is, incredibly warm, polite, and quick. I got answers to all my questions and even received recommendations. That’s how I ‘stumbled upon’ coin albums and, when using them, protective sleeves, which I was initially a bit skeptical about, wondering, ‘Do I really need them?’ The answer is, yes, you do. This way, you keep the albums uniform in size and thickness, and neatly stored in their own environment.
Thanks to the albums, sleeves, and divider pages, I’ve managed to create the exact storage system I had imagined. Everything can be easily labeled and marked, making the collection visually appealing and easy to navigate.
Since, in my opinion, numismatics is a dignified and exciting hobby, you can’t make compromises when it comes to storage. SAFE offers everything you could want for an ideal and beautiful collection. You can always ask Marko for advice, even if your idea is a bit different, and you can’t find exactly what you need on the website. The catalog will certainly have the product you need, and it’s always possible to order items to bring your vision to life.
I highly recommend and fully endorse everything available on the website. The products are high-quality and durable.“
