The reason it is wrong is because there is no such thing as an airtight coin holder - none !</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line is this - if you wish to display your coins out in the open in your home, then you have to accept the risk that you may not like what eventually happens to your coins. Out in the open, in your home, the coins are exposed to everything there is in the air. They are exposed to changes in humidity, changes to temperature, changes to particulates in the air. Everything matters and everything has a direct impact on the coins. The type of heating system you have - is it gas, propane, electric, coal, heating oil, geothermal - all of them will have different effects on the coins. Your cooling system - conventional A/C, evaporative, or geothermal. Do you open your windows ? Your cooking - electric, natural gas, propane. Your cooking methods, baking, frying, broiling, boiling, even the different kinds of foods. All of these things put different and often harmful particulates in the air. They don&#039;t harm you, but they&#039;ll dang sure harm the coins - if they are left out in the open.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin storage is pretty simple. You use quality coin holders. You store your coins in an enclosed container of some kind. You store them in the <u>dark</u>. You use and maintain silica gel packs within that enclosed container to absorb any excess humidity. You store that enclosed container in a cool, dry area (like a closet) and hopefully one with no exterior walls, where the temperature rarely varies much. And that&#039;s about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do anything different than that, and you put your coins at risk. No ifs, no maybes, no buts - you put them at risk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Displaying your coins, in the open, in your home - is one of the worst things you can do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
