<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3370295, member: 15199&quot;]Get the thickest freezer bags you can find. Many are much thinner than the heavy duty. Use at least 2 freezer bags, coins in the first (inner bag)&nbsp; and seal and put into the 2nd bag along with some scruffed newer zincolns&nbsp; ( sacrificial coins) and a desiccator pack. If you are really paranoid you can repeat with additional bags and scratched up zincolns. If the zinks in the outer bag start getting darker, replace the desiccator, zinks&nbsp; in it and any other bags that are getting darker, I have had some higher priced coins in such for more than 10 years with no need to change, but I live in a desert, although we get close to 0-1 inch per year. The 100% copper shell on the zinks is many times more sensitive to chemical damage than even the 90% copper and silver coins and will react before it can penetrate into the next bag, unless you forget to check and not tell anyone before you go to the mint in the sky.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
