[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 1968989, member: 39084"]Where I live (Southern California) the humidity is rarely a problem, but I think for caution's sake I will add desiccant packs to my safe deposit box. As for storing my coins "naked," I use Abafil boxes from my dealer, and his opinion was that storing them in the box, out of the 2x2 flip, was OK.
