[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1787220, member: 112"]How harmful ? For each individual incident of a few days the harm would be negligible. But what you have to realize is that the effect of each incident is cumulative. So bit by bit the harm is still being done. The coins being in slabs, or Air-Tites, or snap-lock 2x2s, (and each of them is no more effective than the others), removes the possibility of damage to the coins from them sliding around on the felt. But your coin holders are still going to suffer from it. That sliding around with movement of the chest is going to lightly scratch the plastic cases, eventually to the point that you can't see the coin very well anymore. No, and no. Also I hope you realize that those boxes weigh almost 20 pounds empty. Fill them with coins and books and you sure aren't going to want to carry it. Couple that with the issue that those drawers are going to be sliding open when you move or carry the box and potentially spilling the contents - and you might want to re-think your idea. For the purpose you said you wanted a box for, the Lighthouse boxes would be far superior in all respects.[/QUOTE]
