[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2844966, member: 112"]Lemme put it this way - any sealed container made of inert materials will help. And pretty much all of them will help equally, meaning one is not better than the other. At least not in terms of protecting coins from the air. This is because we simply do not have airtight containers. That is because pretty much all plastics are air-permeable. What that means is the seal used on the container is irrelevant because the air can and will go right through the face of the plastic itself. The benefit of sealed containers is that it slows down the air flow, and less air getting to the coins is a good thing. My primary point is this. You can spend a lot of money on containers trying to protect your coins. But the expensive options aren't going to do any more good than the least expensive options.[/QUOTE]
