<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1107052, member: 68&quot;]I have a large number of US and world mint and proof sets and can not possibly store them all in my safety deposit boxes.&nbsp; The only solution for me gets rather complicated.&nbsp; First the packaging material is stored separately.&nbsp; Then any valuable or precious metal coins are removed and stored in the safety deposit boxes.&nbsp; Over time many of the other coins soar in value and have to be removed to the saftey deposit boxes as well.&nbsp; Storage conditions are not always ideal for the less valuable coins so I have to keep a close eye on these to be sure they don&#039;t go bad.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You learn a few things over the years like to toss any foam rubber as soon as you see it.&nbsp; Never let coins come in contact with PVC and avoid exposure to air.&nbsp; Keep the humidity and temperature as steady as practicable.&nbsp; Try to keep old boxes even if you get rid of the coins since boxes can have substantial value.&nbsp; If boxes or envelopes go bad you might as well throw them out.&nbsp; Watch the coins in your safety deposit boxes as well.&nbsp; They&#039;ll probably be OK but leave nothing to chance.&nbsp; Don&#039;t use dessicants unless you intend to monitor them.&nbsp; Soaked dessicants are worse than nothing at all.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get too far behind these markets.&nbsp; A good set can become extremely valuable almost overnight now days and needs security.&nbsp; You can&#039;t just leave them in someone else&#039;s safe or a storage area.&nbsp; The biggest threat is corrosion but never forget security.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
