To some people safe coin storage means a wallet or a purse or the old cookie jar, but when it comes to storing rare or scarce or a valueable coin(s) the safest way to protect the coins original lustre or patina or stop the coin from being further damaged from poor handling e.g. knocks, bumps, scratches which can and will reduce the grade and value of the coin(s); is to firstly reduce handling of the coin(s), the safest way for a novice is to use quality unbleached gloves because the acid which is in your skin will stain coins even to the extent of leaving fingerprints, also pick-up/hold coin on the outer edges or rim and don't wipe avoid touching surface of coin.
