[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3403582, member: 112"]Howdy Jennifer - Best is a hard thing to define. If you'll read through this entire thread you'll see much that is discussed regarding different methods of proper coin storage. And quite frankly you're the only one who can decide what's best or good enough for you. Do you utilize every method that's been discussed - is that best ? Yes, but also maybe no, at least not in your case. For example, you said "without keeping a dehumidifier plugged in day and night". I mean rather obviously it would be better if you did that because each and every step that you take to protect your coins makes it better for your coins - each and every one - when it comes to protecting them. But I can tell you that I personally never did it. For me, using silica gel packs and checking and recharging them regularly did the job. But would it have been better to use one ? Without a doubt - yes ! But you must also realize and consider that just because not using one in my house worked, that does not mean that not using one in your house will work. In your house you may need that extra step. Or you may not. Now I'll be as helpful to you as I can, answer any question you care to ask, but you have to understand, there are literally a thousand variables involved for each and every individual collector there is.[/QUOTE]
