Message:: [QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 247054, member: 4230"]Just Carl is correct. Electric dehumidifiers work great. Although, i am not sure of his 1000% more efficient statistic <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But the use of electric dehumidifiers depends on how you store your coins. If they are stored in boxes in a closet, a house dehumidifier might work, but i would get one of them small versions you can stick in your closet or wherever you have your coins stored. I know they sell small version that arejust an enclosed metal rod that warms up, and as it warms the surounding air, the moisture goes away. As for me, i own a large safe. I was going to get one of them small dehumidifiers for my safe, but it needs to be plugged in. For me to do that, i would have had to have a hole drilled into my safe to allow the electrical cord through. I figured cutting a hole in the side of the safe defeats alot of the reasons for the safe - fire protection, flood ect.... So i bought 2 Remington model 365 mini-dehumidifiers. they are silica based, and come with a 5 year warranty. The 2 i use in my safe get rotated every 2 weeks, and every 2 weeks, one of them needs re-charging. They do keep my safe with very limited humidity. All i have to do is plugg them in for a few hours until they change color, and then put them back in my safe.[/QUOTE]
