<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Flyliner, post: 2222071, member: 28965&quot;]Does anyone store coins in mylar bags?</p><p><br /></p><p>After my recent experience (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/disaster-need-help-please.267208/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/disaster-need-help-please.267208/">here</a>) I am working on a ways to store my collection in the high humidity environment I live in. For information sake this will all be in a top of the line fire type safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>My thought is to use mylar bags to store coins/currency. Here is my idea:</p><ol> <li>Use 6in x 10in 5mm zip top mylar bags - These bags are PVC free &amp; made from Mylar/PET/PE (which as far as I can find is coin safe, please correct me if I am wrong).</li> <li>Insert 1 of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gram-Silica-Packets-Desiccant-Dehumidifiers/dp/B00DYKTS9C/ref=pd_bxgy_468_text_y" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Gram-Silica-Packets-Desiccant-Dehumidifiers/dp/B00DYKTS9C/ref=pd_bxgy_468_text_y" rel="nofollow">these</a> desiccant packs in each mylar bag.</li> </ol><p>Depending on how much I open each zip top mylar bag the desiccant packs will need to be replaced every so often. I will use some of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/ShieldPro-Humidity-Indicator-10-Pack-10-60/dp/B004B7E022/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_y" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/ShieldPro-Humidity-Indicator-10-Pack-10-60/dp/B004B7E022/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_y" rel="nofollow">these</a> humidity cards as a control.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will use various size mylar bags to accommodate things such as the 2x2 mylar flip pages, slabbed coins, air-tite pages, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I made a couple up, here is a pic:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]435381[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on this? Any things I should be aware of?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
