If they would have vacuum sealed a lot of their personal possessions. When their house had 6 feet of water in it. The only things that would not have been effective would be all the items that were vacuum sealed. And for those big bulky items like binders and such. You can buy those oversized vacuum bags at Walmart the kind you just hook the vacuum to and suck all the air out. Cheap inexpensive and gets the job done and you can set them in any kind of containers that you wish. And an old food saver you can buy on Craigslist  for pennies. All I know is the minimum cost is totally worth knowing what ever I have is protected against outside elements. Personally I believe people overthink a lot of things. All I know as one collector to another, this is a really inexpensive way to protect your coins why you are Away. And no if they are still there when you come back that they will be in the same condition that you left them in. It's simple and gets the job done.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />PS. For years I had one of those big Tupperware toolboxes in the back of my truck. But the only thing it wasn't filled with tools. It was filled with vacuum sealed coins. Just a thought.[/QUOTE]
