[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 198552, member: 112"]I checked - the Zerust Vapor Capsule does not contain silica gel. So perhaps it does last longer. However, given this - " The invisible, odorless and non-toxic VCI molecules saturate the atmosphere within the enclosure. They will protect the metal surfaces of an object as long as it is in this atmosphere. When the object is removed from the enclosure, the VCI molecules dissipate leaving the object clean, dry and corrosion free." And this - " Note: Vapor Capsules will "yellow" paper over an extended period of time. Do NOT use in proximity to antique books, valuable documents, currency or photographs." It appears that this product actually puts something into the air that is then deposited on items near it. Not sure I would want to risk it on my coins. Steve, I am not knocking the porduct you suggested - I've never even heard of it until today. I am just voicing some concerns I would have about using it.[/QUOTE]
