[QUOTE="spazmodic, post: 1734420, member: 55417"]Hi everybody. I am a new collector and am looking for advice on storing coins for the long haul (10-20) years. I've bought quite a few slabbed PR70DCAM coins as an investment for my daughter. I don't have a need to look at them regularly but I am looking for the best way to preserve them in their mint condition for the long run. I live in Durham, NC where the temp and humidity vary wildly. I've ready humidity can affect coins over the long run and cause corrosion or coloring. Currently these are in PCGS slabs, which I've read are not airtight, some are in sealed bags and If so I've left them in those and I'm storing them in the blue PCGS 20 slab boxes in my safe in my house. Is there more I can do ? Could I seal the boxes with scotch tape ? For coins i do want to look at regularly, are the air-tite plastic coin holders recommended ? Advice appreciated. I even wondered if toning is beneficial over time and it might be better for me to expose them to the elements ? Best Guy[/QUOTE]
