NOTES ABOUT NOTES
(Q&A)/Market Commentary

Currency Holders Many collectors have asked us what kind of holders they should use for their notes. There are many kinds available and not all are safe for long term storage of your notes. We will discuss what to use and what not to use. We do not recommend the screw down, heavy plastic holders. Not only are they bulky and take up space but they will flatten out a note over time and remove whatever embossing might be present. We feel that sealing them up is not good for long term storage. Holders can be purchased at local coin shops but my experience shows that these are usually of inferior or questionable quality, price being the major consideration in purchasing them for resale to the collectors. PVC based holders will surely damage notes as they are made from a petroleum based material. The holders that should be used are made of archival Mylar D, an inert material. We strongly recommend the holders sold by Denly's of Boston. Tom Denly has been selling these holders for many years and we feel that they are the best. Every note that we sell is in a Denly holder! You can contact Tom at 617-482-8477 or write to him at Denly's of Boston, P.O. Box 51010, Boston, MA 02205. He or a member of his friendly staff can provide information on available sizes and prices. We feel that they are the best and will show off your notes very well. Don't be fooled by cheap holders - consider the investment that you have made and provide properly for your notes.
