<p>[QUOTE="ephyfe, post: 1418328, member: 37517"]I have been purchasing my silver proof coins already graded but I am now buying silver proof coins directly from mint agencies and ungraded from dealers. I was wondering if it's safe to keep them in the plastic capsule over a long period of time (years)? I transfer these coins to mylar flips? (I'll use cotton gloves) I hear these flips are heat sealable so I need something to heat seal them? Should I expose them to a Desiccant Silica Gel pack pefore putting them into a flip? Is any treatment necessary before sealing up the flip (after sealing the flip)? I was also going to use compresses air to blow possible dust off the coins. Thanks for the advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
