[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24673392, member: 112"]There are countless threads here on the forum that discuss proper coin storage. Just do a search for those words - proper coin storage - and you'll find all you care to read. But to put it simply - The first step is to make sure that you only use inert materials for coin storage. You don't want any paper, cardboard, or original packaging anywhere near the coins. Then put each coin in an individual hard plastic holder like an Air-Tite or slab type holder - there are many different kinds. Once in their holders, put the coins in a sealable container, like a large Tupperware container with a lid. Food safe containers are made of inert materials that cannot harm your coins. Next step is to put a rechargeable silica gel pack inside the Tupperware with the coins. Its purpose is to absorb excess moisture (humidity) in the air. Then choose a place in your home to store the container where the temperature remains fairly constant like a closet or room that has no walls that face the exterior (outside) of the home. Those are the basics, but there are additional steps you can take like using Intercept Shield products like slab boxes and or individual coin slabs, and individual slab containers - they all work. But they have to be properly stored too as described above.[/QUOTE]
