<p>[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 24854128, member: 73995"]That is one of the biggest keys to cabinet construction and coins. Yes some woods off gas but everything in our environment does the same. I have a cabinet that I am building, Mahogany and Cherry. </p><p>That is the frame. I don't have the wood for the drawers figured yet, I might just add a different wood. The environment that I have in my basement is Ideal. It hasn't toned any of my coins not noticeably anyways. So, I wouldn't nock one type of cabinet for another until you have tried storing coins in it. And there is no need to get crazy with price. I found this cabinet for slabs at a yard sale for less than an ounce of silver.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1593072[/ATTACH]</p><p>Watch out for modern oils or certain finishes when restoring the cabinet.
