<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1215063, member: 112&quot;]There have been literally hundreds of threads written on the subject of proper storage. But the rules are pretty simple.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all the coins need to be in a sealed container of some sort. That can be a safe you have at home,&nbsp; or something like a Tupperware container. The idea is to store the coins inside something that limits air flow and allows you to &quot;condition&quot; the air inside that container. For you need to put a silica gel pack inside the container to absorb any excess humidity out of the air inside the container. And the container itself needs to be stored in a cool and dark place where the temperature remains fairly constant. That&#039;s about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The subject of what type of coin holders to use is an entirely different subject. But any well made coin holder will do and there are many to choose from. Air-Tites are just fine. The things to remember about coin holders are that they need to be made of inert materials, and they need to hard, sturdy, so that they protect the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you have to understand that no matter what type of coin holder you choose,&nbsp; none of them are airtight, not a single one. There is no such thing as an airtight coin holder. So, if your desire is to keep your coins from toning then you have to do the things you need to do to limit the things that cause toning, for you can never stop it. The best you can ever hope for is to slow toning down. And you do that by storing the coins in the&nbsp; manner I have described above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
