Question about storing coins?

I have a Whittman tube where I keep my steel pennnies. I'm pretty new to coin collecting, so I only have about a dozen or so in there now. There are a few of them with a bit of corrosion on them, one is pretty heavily corroded. My question is if it's safe to keep them that way, or can the corrosion spread to the other coins? Thank you for your time

Corrosion can spread, especially if it's verdigris.

Okay, thanks! I'll keep those ones seperate then

 

Just remember that you should keep these steelies in the lowest moisture environment you can find. I found this out the hard way. An air tight container with a desiccant packet would be a good start.

 

Another good idea is keeping them sepperate from one another!
