<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonjudawg, post: 442114, member: 8468&quot;]My question to you all is another question about storage and packaging.&nbsp; I&#039;ve read and read and read and reread and reread hundreds of posts on this site dealing with the same topic - storage.&nbsp; But nothing i&#039;ve really read deals specifically with new mint products since 2000.&nbsp; I understand all the information on storage that i read here and it seems that it mostly concerns older coins or individual coins found bought or sold.&nbsp; I typically only collect modern coins, such as, Silver Proof sets, Uncirculated Mint sets, Proof and Uncirculated Eagles and Commemoratives, etc...&nbsp; My concern is how these coins are going to be affected long term by keeping them in the original packaging.&nbsp; Obviously I take the other proper storage techniques found on this site: Complete original packaging, small acid free cardboard box with dessicant, in a large &quot;sealed&quot; plastic bin, in a cool dry place; but nothing extraordinary like Air-Tites or Intercept Sheild boxes (which would mean breaking up sets), or should I be? </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think storing the new Mint products in their original packaging is a good storage for the long term?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My reason for this topic is that i am questioning the Mint&#039;s packaging as suspect, for example: my 1999 and 2000 sets have deveopled haze and toning but nothing else has and more importantly the new presidential dollar set cases open with little effort; also the individual coin capsules open very easily like Jackson&#039;s Liberty gold coin.&nbsp; Seems like its getting worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
