[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1868328, member: 112"]That's about the worse place you could ever put it. That's not much better. Since you apparently live in Texas I'm going to assume that you have A/C in your home. And assume that you try to keep the temperature in your home fairly constant during summer and winter. So your home is going to be the best place to keep the coin. But there are good places and bad places inside your home. The best choice for coin storage is an interior closet, one that does not have any walls in common with the exterior, meaning outside. But there is more to it than that. You also need a container, preferably a safe, a good one not the Sentry safes you commonly see in stores (they are a bad idea). But if you don't have a safe and don't want to buy one, a good sized Tupperware container will do. You keep it sealed and keep your coins inside it, and store it in the closet. But you also have to fight humidity. The small Ziplock bags mentioned will help with that. But you also will need some silica gel packs like these - [url]http://www.jpscorner.com/silica-gel-humidity-control.html[/url] - the 40 gram size will work well for you. You put it in the Tupperware container. But you have to check it and re-charge it as needed. That's about it.[/QUOTE]
