<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1297019, member: 112&quot;]I must say Marcy, your situation is indeed different than any I have run across before. To be honest, taking the coins with you on such a trip was a bad idea. But how to deal with it now that you have ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll agree that taking the coins out of the cardboard 2x2s was a good idea. But putting them into coin flips really wasn&#039;t. Even if the flips are PVC free, they can still cause damage to the coins. Especially if you are traveling around.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Intercept holders and storage boxes that Speedie linked to are an excellent idea. They are without doubt the best storage method there is for coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>And placing the coins in the plastic tub with the dehumidifier product as you have is also a great idea. But there is more to it than that even. For that container now needs to be stored in a cool, dark place where the temperature does not vary much. And it needs to be taken out of your motor home. All of that movement and jostling around is not a good thing for the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Somehow, someway, you have to got change things if you wish to protect the coins. But given your situation, I&#039;m not sure how you are going to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you are traveling, are in one place long enough that you can receive packages by mail or UPS ? Or can you arrange to be in one place long enough so that you can ? For one way or another you need to get those coins out of those flips. And that means you need to buy other holders. And finding a shop that carries suitable holders as you travel is not likely to happen. That means you need to order some.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you decide not to go the Intercept holder route, then I would recommend Air-Tite holders. But you need to make sure you get the proper size for each coin, and I would also recommend that you use the ring type. You can find them here - <a href="http://www.jpscorner.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jpscorner.com" rel="nofollow">www.jpscorner.com</a>&nbsp; That&#039;s the best place I ever found to buy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And Speedie - those silica packs that you get from shoe boxes or other commercial products - those are useless. For by the time they get to you all of their ability to absorb excess moisture is long gone. Never use these things. You need to buy new silica gel packs, I recommend rechargeable ones, for use with your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
