<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 890637, member: 19065&quot;]Any wood in immediate proximity to coins, even slabbed coins, is too close to have wood and coins together for me personally. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wood, especially, old wood no matter what you lined it with is likely to be full of contaminants, sealers: shellac, varnishes, polishes, these continues to gas off as they break down, wood leaches acids over time and any combination of these things MAY affect even slabbed coins ever so slightly over long term storage. Slabbed coins are not necessarily sealed with air tight seals but do shut out most environmental problems. Now you may never experience environmental damages to your coins stored this way and the step you took to lining the drawers may offset this somewhat too. Better silverware cases may be constructed from fruit woods, i.e cherry or pear, etc., not oak type hardwoods, and from my experience silverware does continue to tarnish, even in their lined boxes for plenty of reasons, just at a slower pace. Just something to think about despite the convenience of the draw you have chosen to use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
