<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 616680, member: 4552&quot;]Gold, Platinum, etc are not INERT. This means an element that NORMALLY does not combine with other elements or substances. Gold DOES combine with other substances like Sulfur (Au2S), Chlorine (AuCl3), also Fluorine, Cyanide, etc. Many individuals find Gold items in and around their homes toning excessively if they have a pool in thier yard or live real close to a large pool that is Chlorinated. Individuals in areas where there are Sulfur rich coal burning plants, such as in the upper portions of Indiana, find excessive SO or SO2 in the air combining with moisture and attacking Gold, Copper, etc. </p><p>Due to living in Arizona only means the ambient outdoor air is normally dry. If you keep your coins in a basement, you may want to invest in a thing called a Hygrometer. This measure humidity. You may find that your basement is high in humidity if you cook, wash, etc. </p><p>Silica gel packs are excessively overated for such areas. If in fact you do have high humidity in a basement, you should consider a large dehumifier with hose drain into a house drain.</p><p>Meanwhile you may want to do as I&#039;ve been doing for a long, long, long time and place all valuable coins in Zip Lock Plastic Bags and push out as much air as possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
