<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 131154, member: 3011&quot;]It&#039;s amazing how complicated this thread is.&nbsp; I try to keep things simple.&nbsp; If a coin is valuable enough to really worry about preservation, it goes into an airtite and into a fireproof safe with silica in it to absorb moisture.&nbsp; If it doesn&#039;t qualifiy for this treatment, it goes into an ordinary cardboard 2X2.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never had a problem with 2X2s and some of the coins have been in them for decades.&nbsp; Will this treatment preserve the coins for hundreds of years with no visible change in condition?&nbsp; Probably not.&nbsp; Is that a problem?&nbsp; Probably not.&nbsp; Are they completely safe from theft or damage from fire and flood.&nbsp; Probably not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the tupperware idea a lot and plan to use it.&nbsp; Is there any known downside to this storage method?&nbsp; Is the actual Tupperware brand the only approved container, or is any plastic food container acceptable?&nbsp; The packaging doesn&#039;t mention what it is made out of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
