[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2635429, member: 15588"]I also put all of my bullion in Air-Tites, except for those that arrive in sealed mint packages. They seem safe and snug in those little things, though apparently their name isn't exactly accurate - I've heard that they're not actually [I]completely[/I] air tight, but I'd be curious if others have heard differently. I buy mine from Wizard Coin supply, which seems cheaper than other distributors (at least the ones I've found). This is probably no longer a concern, but years ago I spoke with Air-Tite on the phone (I was submitting an order before internet ordering became ubiquitous) and they told me that at one time the middle ring was not made of a completely inert material, but that it was since fixed.
