<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 17455, member: 824&quot;]Greetings Rugen...</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep all of my coins in my safe under low humidity, room temperature conditions.&nbsp; In the safe, I use Silica Gel Crystal packets to help absorb excess mositure that may be in the safe.&nbsp; These are the same type of packets you see in new luggage or brief cases that look like sugar packets.&nbsp; You know these, they state &quot;Do Not Eat&quot; (to keep the trial lawyers at bay) or &quot;Throw Away&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tupperware or Rubbermaid containers are, in my opinion, okay IF you have some type of moisture absorbing agent (like these packets) stored with your coins.&nbsp; Don&#039;t forget to burp the tupperware either.&nbsp; The less moisture, the less air, the better.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a big fan of the Intercept Shield for protecting many of my raw coins.&nbsp; From all I read and researched, I find that nothing protects coins from most of the environmental factors than this technology.&nbsp; Only ICG offers this for their slab protection and I can&#039;t believe that PCGS or NGC didn&#039;t jump on this when it came out.&nbsp; Think about it...shouldn&#039;t a slabbing company not only offer a professional, 3rd party grade, but shouldn&#039;t their slab that is sonically sealed offer at least something in it to protect coins from toning and other factors?&nbsp; Sonically sealed slabs do alot, but there is still more that can be done and sonically sealing a slab WITH the Intercept Shield is the best protection for your coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>They even sell Intercept Shield lined boxes, so check them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, I got carried away...</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, moisture-free and room temperatures are the key factors for protecting your coins.&nbsp; The rest will definitely help, but you have to start with the first two.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
