<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3298444, member: 15199&quot;]In your situation , here is what I would do. Take your coins and put them in the house in an area that has the lowest humidity&nbsp; and while they come into balance take enough zip lock bags for the coins in also and put your coins safely into the bags in a way you want them stored. Squeeze all air out and seal them. Take some bright newish zinc cents and scratch and shine them with a wire brush of scrubber and add them into a second zip lock bag&nbsp; , and then insert your first sealed bag and then zip lock the second and put them into the safe with the scratched cents visible.&nbsp; and close the safe. Every so often open the safe and look at the cents. If they are bright and shine, the other coins are as safe as can be. If they are corroding , check for a bad seal and replace or heck, put them into a 3rd bag ( they are cheap compared to a safe or SDB), but I would bet they will stay bright as 2 zip locks give a lot of protection. My 99 cent store even has 2 1/2 gallon size and they work fine for stashes.&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
