Message:: [QUOTE="Boss, post: 412612, member: 15110"]Dessicants To Vess1,Yes, everyway I have coins stored is surrounded by ziplocks and dessicants and most now in "Handi-vac" bags that air sucked out by this little sucker device that comes with the bags.  I also have 3 large dessicants in the open space of the safe (two that are battery rechargeable and another that is oven heated and will add more soon).  I am debating not removing the coins for fear of scratching the proofs, but I can't decide at this point.  I am right there with Samjimmy in the concerns about the albums.  I definitely hairlined and scratched some of the proofs putting them in.  But I eventually learned how to do it without damage (under a 20x loope I am sure there is evidence of the contact).  I use either ziplock bags or the part of the 2x2 flip that is plastic (tore it out) to put on the face of the coin to push it in.  If I had to do it all over again, I would probably would put all the coins in Air-tites and place in Eagle albums sheets.  "Caronlina Gent" does this and places the sheets in Littleton folders.  I'd like to see a photo of this and I replied to see if he could do so.  Don't know if that helps as I definitely do not have the answer.  Display verses preservation?[/QUOTE]
