Good point. I wonder what conditions my coins in a SDB will be. Should I put dessicant in the box, or do they usually control for humidity?
Easily handled with air-tight containers, desiccants, and regular checkups -- and the challenge is really no different at home.
the object, i suppose, it to keep someone from being defensive and to tell them stand on their feet. Your a grown up. If you think that your post had value, you don't need me to justify it So don't pout. I didn't pout when you disagreed with me.Not even when someone took pot shots at my watch parrot.
The thing is at home generally you have temperature and humidity control. my hand hurts from all this typing
Just saying, Ruben, that the means of communicating in NYC, (maybe Jersey, Philly, and possibly Boston), is different than the rest of the country. What seems normal is seen as brusque and rude. Conversely, you see posts from other areas of the country as passive and weak. I can handle posting with you man, just need to put my NYC attitude on.
Does anyone have experience with the kinds of conditions in expect in SDBs. Before I only kept junk in them, but now have decent coins. I know it will depend on the physical location, but it is a business right so you would expect heat and cooling to be within normal parameters, right? What is your experience with moisture levels? I am asking since sometimes at home if I was not running the AC, (live in a forest by a lake), the humidity would really climb and I had to change the dessicant often. Should I expect the same in a SDB in the summer?
I've not had any issues with the coins in my SDB, but they've only been there for what? 9 months now or so.
Absolutely ! Depends, some do and some don't. But I've built several banks that have humidifiers in them specifically for the safety deposit box areas. They do this because paper gets too dried out and deteriorates if the humidity is not kept up.
That's really interesting, most people would think it's great and safe to keep all your coins and valuables in a safe, but thieves can get into anything. The best thing you can do it have a safe bolted or attached to your house or keeping all your valuables in a bank's safe, your allowed to and it's free. Thanks for sharing!
how much is that in ebay fees? Just flip them a cleaned bust half every year and tell them they should be happy with that.
