Coins such as your Proof ASEs, as you know, come individually their own air tite plastic containter which is placed inside the OGP (original govt packaging) and distributed by the Mint. Online distributors and other wholesellers would almost certainly keep the coins in their boxes. Due to the fact that they are selling a large volume and have a fast turnover rate it is highly unlikely that the coins would oxidize. Strictly from the standpoint of efficiency it would be very time consuming for a large seller to open all of the individual proof packages and pull out the coins only to put them right back into the package once an order is received. It sounds like you are taking care of your ASEs perfectly. Keeping a dessicant inside the safe and changing it out as needed is quite sufficient for maintaining a low moisture level. If I may ask, do you keep your safe in a basement or in a room that is climate contolled? I ask you this because it seems to me that many people store their safe in the basement. If you do happen to keep your safe in a basement, I would STRONGLY encourage you to relocate it to a climate controlled room on the first floor. Basements, being below grade, will experience fluctations in Relative Humidity. On the first floor you will find relative humidity to be much more stable. Ultimately you want to keep the safe in an area of your home where you feel comfortable with the temperature and humidity (meaning a place where your body physically feels comfortable with the indoor climate). People will feel comfortable with RH of 50% and 50% RH is perfect for the storage of your coins. In a basement, it is not uncommon to see RH readings of 60%-70% which means the air is holding a tremendous amount of moisture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
