Welcome to the journey!
There have been many previous posts on this ever-popular topic, and if momentum builds, you'll quickly see a great variety of storage/display methods. One lesson I've taken is that most people experiment & change their methods many times over their collecting careers.
Your "collector tickets" or labels/tags can be important. ("Purchasing power when issued" is the only
field I haven't seen used, but it'd be interesting if you could make it
work!) Personalizing your tickets/tags is
part of what makes them interesting -- including for future generations of collectors. Imagine that someone will have your labels with the coins several generations in the future. (Most get lost by then, but I love coins with multiple tags stretching back 100 years or more.)
I'm a fan of old-fashioned hand-written circular labels, but the most practical are just word processor-generated computer-printed squares. (I try to keep mine all saved in one file for revising & reprinting, or searching info.)
Rather than show my labels, I suggest checking out
Meepzorp's
collection site here on
FORVM. It has photos of many tags below each coin -- by hand, by computer, dealer, collector, early 20th century (or earlier) to present:

For a rather chaotic take on storage (you can click to "embiggen" the photos):
Personally, I store coins in many different ways. I'd like to have
good quality Abafil trays or a nice
wood coin cabinet, but I haven't invested in those since at any given time, most coins are in the safety deposit box, either in archival plastic safety
flips or in paper coin envelopes.
When I have some at
home, I combine these methods:
This was a "glamour shot," when I got everything out for an ancient coin family reunion.
Old felt trays, second-hand from my jeweler uncle (I see they need cleaning, a difficult chore):
Another photoshoot to celebrate a new "aluminum case with stackable drawers."
I like the clear plastic "sheath" so dust doesn't accumulate, and so I can safely pass them around at coin club meetings.
As you can see, I keep some coins in labeled
flips inside the squares, sometimes coin capsules, sometimes sitting on plastic squares (to mitigate "tray rub" during transportation, at least a theoretical danger):
For
Roman coins and others that aren't too beefy, I really like the little plastic capsules. I just get the
cheap generic ones, but name-brand might be safer.
Here's one of my drawers/boxes/tubs for just mostly ordinary low-value little late
Roman bronzes:
And various boxes, tubs, piles, and trays of free-range coins:
I don't even want to show or mention the rest ...
