Slabbed coin storage?

Log in or Sign up to hide this ad.

.....i think SOMEBODY would buy them. just like CAC coins. not EVERYONE goes for the

'umpire' extra opinion on the slabs but people that desire the option goes for it. it may

be the only option for keeping the environment out of the color turning equation that

causes so much uneasiness with the red/brown subject. jmo

 

.....i still think there would be buyers. not everyone, of course, but SOME. just like everyone

wouldn't buy a rolls royce. some people just have to have it if it's made available to

them. if they can afford the product they buy the product.

 

Thanks - Would a safety deposit box be a good idea then to store them in?
I have also heard about the albums for coins but then you wouldn't be able to keep them in a small box right?
I appreciate the answers being a newbie!

 

Here is some food for thought: The janitor at the bank may be using Ammonia based floor cleaners and may be squirting Oxidizing Bleach directly onto your box when they wipe them down once a month/week/day. Then they can close the vault door & trap all those lovely fumes in there.

 

Say i bought a slabbed proof coin with no toning at the time but after some years of letting it sit it does start to tone and the tone is very nice, would sending it back to the TPG yeld an upgrade or an add on to the fact that its now toned?

 

This is new to me can someone explain the dipping,Is it done by the TPG or the submittor? and why?

 

While grading is still subjective, the numeric grade assigned a coin is supposed to represent the technical merits of the coin. NGC uses a "star" for certain coins that have eye appeal that cannot be summed up in the numeric grade. I don't think PCGS has a counterpart for the NGC *. It is not likely that nice toning would add to the numeric grade, but it could receive a star for it.

You are right to a point, but exhibit a complete lack in understanding of creativity and function. There are many options available beyond what you think. I'd also like for you to show us a demonstration of how 'easily' a 600+ lb safe is moved up stairs.

As for the OP, I store slabs in IS slab holders and boxes. Stored in a cool, dark, 30% humidity, year round location. Slabs are not air tight but provide a great deal of protection. A reasonable amount of environmentally controlled storage and appropriate storage materials should keep them from toning.

 

Moisture in the Slab??? I just bought a MS69 2001 D Buffalo slabbed by NGC from Tampa, Florida....I live in Illinois and it is fall (Oct. 28). The case looks like there is moisture inside, as where the white coin holder part touches the clear outer shell has a few darker areas (that move...disappear and reappear, like oil/water are there. If I press the case the spot grows and if I squeeze the sides the spot disappears. It is possible the coin became cold on its journey and created this condensation that now may not escape? Maybe not a good idea to buy coins from humid to cooler environments, at this time of the year? I sealed the coin/NGC case in a sandwich bag with a big bag of dessicant/silica gel, hope it dries it out. Is it possible these coins are being sealed in a bad humidity adverse environment? They could seal these in an incubator with inert gas, like they do lithium ion batteries....yeah I used to work there and the process isn't that impossible to apply.
