<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1301053, member: 13650&quot;]What is the maximum humidity you should store coins at?&nbsp;&nbsp; I know the generic answer would be as low as possible.&nbsp; But just curious if anybody really knows what&#039;s acceptable.&nbsp; Is anybody else paying close attention to this?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; I run a dehumidifier to maintain 60% room humidity.&nbsp; If I set it much lower, it would run constantly.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then I use large rechargeable, silica gel bags to dehumidify smaller sized storage areas.&nbsp; (Temps are constant.)&nbsp; At best I can maintain my storage location around 25% for short periods, but usually climbs to 50% in a relatively short amount of time.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t mind recharging silica gel packs every 6 months.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to have to do it every month.&nbsp;&nbsp; This isn&#039;t the coast but it&#039;s not the Rockies either.&nbsp; We have a decent amount of humidity to deal with for a good 3/4ths of the year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; I also wonder if it would be better to not go so low for when you do want to take stuff out.&nbsp; For example an album needs to be pulled out to fill a hole.&nbsp; When its very low, and you bring something out into the normal air, you can feel slight condensation on the albums, materials, etc...&nbsp; FWIW, I do intend to have a better set up 4 to 5 years from now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
