<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3312739, member: 77814&quot;]Truthfully, I don&#039;t see the value of airtights, etc for gold or silver pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I simply put them in tubes OR flips.&nbsp; Those tubes/flips may be rubberbanded together and put in air tight containers (ie, like Rubbermaid) with a 3M antitarnishing strip and a rechargeable antihumidity silica packet.</p><p><br /></p><p>The airtight containers to me is simply an additional expense which raises the the total cost of the bullion coin which is really only valued on the bullion + numismatic value depending upon your perspective of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>your real question is in &quot;Handling&quot; of the coins.&nbsp; Ie, don&#039;t drop them whether in airtights, flips, containers, etc.&nbsp; As the jolt, etc may cause some damage.&nbsp; And of course don&#039;t shake the container like a popcorn bag.&nbsp; Careful handling will prevent marring/damage no matter what container you put the bullion in.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I put coins in tubes and can&#039;t fill up the tube, I put inert (or whatever they call it) paper crumpled in it to fill up the space so the coins can&#039;t &quot;bounce&quot; up/down.&nbsp; Foam, etc could also fill that space.&nbsp; Just something that won&#039;t react with the metal to tone it, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
