What&#039;s more the surface of the coins should never be touched by your fingers or anything else. And they absolutely most definitely should never be wiped - with anything !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin storage boxes you mentioned are fine, but in and of themselves they will not protect your coins from having airborne contaminants deposited on them. Nor will the individual coin holders.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are several steps to proper coin storage. 1 - use hard plastic coin holders. 2 - you can use the storage boxes for convenience sake but they are not required. 3 - all coins, including those in the storage boxes, need to be kept in a closed container. If you have a safe (do not use Sentry safes) at home that will serve as a closed container. If you do not have a safe then you can use a large Tupperware, or similar brand, container.&nbsp; No paper, cardboard, wood products, or PVC products can be allowed in the container. 4 - you need to keep rechargeable, or replaceable, silica gel packs inside your closed container. 5 - your closed container should ideally be kept in a room or closet in your home that has no exterior walls. This room/closet should ideally be dark, and maintain a consistent and cool temperature.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All of those steps must be utilized or you will have problems with your coin storage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
