<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1968607, member: 44357&quot;]I imagine you&#039;ve planned for this but my safe deposit box gets extremely humid in&nbsp; some parts of the year so I have a rechargeable desiccant in with my coins to prevent humidity within their local atmosphere.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have some large coins in a tray (the Nomos/CNG coin case with Saflips cut to the size of the squares to prevent motion on the fabric from wearing the reverse) but the &quot;horror stories&quot; of wood outgassing and unexpected toning from velvet/other materials has caused me to change my storage methods many times resulting in a closet full of failed storage approaches.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a bit more obsessive than I probably need to be but my current primary method of storage has most of my coins in Lighthouse EverSlabs. They are thicker than the CoinWorld holders and AirTites, able to fit most tetradrachms (although not all). With some slight modifications, the slabs can be opened/closed easily whereas they&#039;re normally &quot;permanent&quot; like an NGC holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>My coins spend most of their time locked away so keeping them in slabs helps to prevent them from sliding around or moving in any way during transit, and significantly reduces their exposure to the elements. I take them out of the slabs when looking at them myself but keep some of my nicer coins in the slabs when showing to people inexperienced in the handling of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have any attribution detail in with my coins even though the holders have space for it. I keep everything organized in spreadsheets but having a hard copy in with the coins would be prudent and is an oversight on my part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
