[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1081846, member: 112"]It couldn't hurt. But you need to remember that those plastic bags are not truly airtight. The basic principles of coin storage will never change. There are things that you simply have to do not matter what your choice of storage medium is. 1 - you need a sealed container. By that I mean a container like a safe, or a large Tupperware or RubberMaid box. You would then place those vac bags in that container. 2 - the container must be stored in a cool, dark place where the temperature never varies or varies very little. 3 - you have to control the humidity by using silica gel packs and you have to exchange them for new ones, or recharge them on a regular basis. Now you can do that by placing the silica gel packs in the storage container (box, safe or whatever you use), or by placing one in each of the vac bags. But one way or the other the humidity has to be controled.[/QUOTE]
