<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Urban_Lawyer, post: 1508742, member: 36361&quot;]My wife and I have a baby on the way, and my collection is getting booted to make way for a nursery.&nbsp; Is there any harm in storing my coins and currency in an attic that does NOT have HVAC?</p><p><br /></p><p>The Place:&nbsp; My attic is well insulated but does not have air conditioning or forced air heat like the rest of the house.&nbsp; It does have radiator heat (oddly, they left that there when the HVAC was installed in the 1950s).&nbsp; The air temperature can go as low as 55-60 F in the winter and as high as 120 F in the summer - same temperature as the outside.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Collection:&nbsp; I don&#039;t own any slabs.&nbsp; My coins are either loose, in Intercept Shield / Dansco albums, or in 2x2 mylar flips stored in a large wooden footlocker.&nbsp; My currency is placed in plastic pages and stored in a 3-ring binder.&nbsp; I have some currency in paper envelopes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on whether I could put my collection in the attic?&nbsp; What are the problems with temperature differences?&nbsp; Humidity is NO problem... even when its humid outside the house is comfortable, if hot.&nbsp; Coins are ultimately just hunks of metal and currency is just paper, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
