<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3225377, member: 112&quot;]Well, I definitely would not use the boxes. They are made of cardboard, and that&#039;s bad. The interior, not sure about that but I suspect it is bad as well. And there&#039;s no way that I can see that you even put the kind of silica gel pack that you need in there - it won&#039;t fit.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the kind you need - </p><p><a href="http://www.jpscorner.com/silica-gel-humidity-control.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jpscorner.com/silica-gel-humidity-control.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.jpscorner.com/silica-gel-humidity-control.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.jpscorner.com/Silica%20Gels/silica-gel-40-gram-big.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They are 4&quot; x 2&quot; x 1/2&quot;. They are easily rechargeable and last for years, and they only cost $6.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The tubes, don&#039;t see anything wrong with them. But, you&#039;ll also need some other container to put the tubes inside so that you can also use the silica gel packs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know you say you&#039;t want to use Tupperware but it&#039;s 100% safe for coins, and they can be sealed so as to limit and restrict air flow as much as possible. THAT - limiting and restricting air flow - IS the primary goal for proper coin storage. And without doing it, well you&#039;re kinda fighting against the inevitable. They are also inexpensive and readily available in virtually any size you may need.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ziplocks were mentioned as an alternative, and yes they will help. But they do not do anywhere as near as good of a job as Tupperware does.</p><p><br /></p><p>In all honesty, Tupperware, or Rubbermaid if you prefer them, are about the best option there is when it comes to protecting your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
