[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 444934, member: 112"]There not only can be problems, there WILL be problems regardless of the holder you use - if you do not follow proper storage proceedures. And yes that includes all slabs, Air-Tites, Intercept Shield, sealed flips and any other holder you can name. You CANNOT just place coins in a holder and then forget about them for years. You will be unhappy if you do. Coins need to be stored in an environment where the temperature is cool and the temp does not change more than few degrees. They need to be stored in the dark. They need to be stored in as low as humidity as you can get with silica gel packs to reduce it even further. And coins need to be checked, at the least every 2 months, and depending on where you live (for conditions vary greatly) sometimes more often than that. Fail to do any of these things and you will not be happy.[/QUOTE]
