<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1301171, member: 15199"]As you say, "as low as possible" for metallic coins and medals". Since they will be exposed to home humidity when being shown or worked, you can reduce the time they face this by keeping them in a zip lock freezer bag ( double seal are tighter) with a small silica gel pack. Squeeze all the air out possible and then the silica gel will have very little work to do and will not require recharging often. I have experimented with the "vacuum zip bags" in the same situation, and I find no difference, and the regular zip lock bags can be found ( Walmart I think ) in sizes large enough for albums. I use the largeest zip lock bags to freeze 2 half gallon cartons of low fat egg nog at a time.The stores only have it here for the 2 month holiday season, so I freeze and get one out when the urge hits in the hot months of summer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
