<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1734441, member: 112&quot;]Probably not the best decision you could make. I say that for a pretty simple reason, 70 graded coins have been dropping in value for some time now. 10 - 12 years ago 70 graded coins were selling for multiple thousands of dollars. Today you can often buy them for $150, some even less. And they have been getting steadily cheaper with each passing year. So you might want to re-think that idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while you are at it, please, do yourself a favor and believe me when I tell you that coins make terrible investments. Over 9 out of 10 collectors lose money on their collections.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, first of all if you have a Sentry safe, get your coins out of it and buy a different safe for coin storage. I recommend some of the models made by American Security. Then, make sure your safe is located in an interior closet or room that has no walls exposed to the exterior of your home. That gives you the best chance of making sure that the temperature remains as constant as possible. Then get yourself some rechargeable silica gel packs and put them in your safe. Then monitor them as needed and recharge as needed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, do not do that !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, they are fine. But so are several other hard plastic coin holders. But as a general rule you will find that Air-Tites are far and away the most economical.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The thing about toning is that you never have any idea how the toning is going to turn out. Most of the time it ends up being ugly and unattractive. But sometimes it does end up being attractive, I would guess less than 1% of the time. But are you willing to take that chance ? </p><p><br /></p><p>If you like and want attractively toned coins, then buy attractively toned coins that you like and forget about hoping to end up with them. And since you are just beginning and know very little, only buy those in NGC or PCGS slabs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
