<p>[QUOTE="brinssig, post: 3257346, member: 12147"]I store each of my uncertified coins in the rigid flips that don't have pvc in them. Many of my uncertified Morgan dollars especially the higher-condition coins I have in Kointains in addition to storing them in the flips. The one thing I don't like about the flips is after a while they break apart where they are folded. I store all of the loose coins in clear, plastic tool boxes from the hardware store. I don't like using the containers from the hardware store since I don't know if the plastic they are made of is gassing off but I am not sure what else to use. I don't want to put the coins in an open container since some of the coins may be damaged. I live in a split entry downstairs where it is cool and the coins are stored in a cabinet with a cover that closes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where would I find rechargeable silica gel packs that are safe for coins?
