[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2614826, member: 83845"]I totally get what you are saying and it all makes perfect sense. I know there are a lot of folks who would never put their collection in a wooden box and I 100% respect that and understand why. However judging by the number of custom cabinet makers out there advertising coin cabinets I would estimate that there are a fair few who continue to use mahogany wood due to its elegance and beauty. I was hoping to get some feedback from this group on their experiences. The combination of air tites and less gas may well lead to an acceptable result in practice even if there is an inherent risk in theory. :-) Plus a lot of great coins spent centuries in cabinets in Europe and pretty much all of my ancients have spent 1000+ years buried in the ground exposed to all kinds of imperfect conditions.[/QUOTE]
