<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2572578, member: 112&quot;]I can&#039;t speak about the ones in your link, or any other &quot;private&quot; brand. But the ammo cans issued and used by the US military, that&#039;s another matter entirely. For one thing they actually are airtight when closed. For another I have used them for decades for storing ammo, and the brass shell casings, and the copper jacketed bullets themselves, stay as bright as the day they left the factory. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now this is important for one reason, that brass is extremely susceptible to toning, tarnishing, much more so than silver but very close to that of copper. And even without any type of desiccant or attempt at humidity control, the brass, and copper, does not tarnish - at all ! I have seen cans of surplus ammo that were 30 years old when opened and the brass/copper was factory bright. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;ve never used them for storing coins myself, but the condition of the ammo speaks volumes ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
