<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 139899, member: 4552"]As with many posts a complete explanation appears to be missing for accurate answers. For instance what is ment MY ENTIRE COLLECTION? An entire colection could be one Lincoln folder half full of cents or hundreds of rolls, hundreds or even thousands of 2x2's, many albums, numerous 3 ringed binders, show cases, etc. From one extreme to another. </p><p>For some a safe deposit box is adaquate. Others use a gun case big enough for rifles. Some have shelving units in a separate room in a house, others have just a massive bookcase in a basement. </p><p>Asking that question is almost as vague as asking which car is better without noting a size, country, engine, passangers, etc.Then we have all seen the numerous post on how to remove moisture from the air, how to wrap albums, suck out CO2, find Sulfur free paper, move to the desert, etc. </p><p>The main question back is what is the purpose of the storage. For short term, long term, very long term or extensive long term storage. If you want constant access to your collection the best thing is to just put them all in a book case with phony names on the books so no one knows there are coins in them. </p><p>If your intention is extensively long storage you may want to dig a hole in your back yard, put all your coins in a metal box, put the box in the hole, pour concrete over the box and make a patio out of it. :smile :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
