<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 136927, member: 4552"]Almost as common a subject as cleaning coins. There are so many different methods of protecting coins and many try one of the other. I find that just putting coins in a Whitman Classic Album or those 2x2's works fine for me. I put each album in a separate freezer type bag and squeeze as much air out as possible. 2x2's just go in a large red box purchased at coin shows. No silica gels, no vaults, no gun cases, no wads of cotton, no nothing except this really nice dehumidifier. Sucks all the moisture out of the air I want pending on the setting. If I wanted I think I could make my place like a desert. Nice electric bill though. </p><p>I've had coins in this invironment for well ove 60 years now and no sign of toning, tarnishing, pitting, etc. However, if I'm wrong it will surely be noticed in the next few hundred years.</p><p>If my system dosen't work for at least two hundred years I'll let you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
