[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 783771, member: 13650"]I remember reading about this when you originally posted. You're 'guessing' that they will 'all' be fine. Why didn't you try a test 5 years ago? At this point, if you absolutely have to do it, I would do a test run and bury each type of slab, each type of coin, air-tites, MS, proof, mint set, etc.., without jumping in and burying it all.
