<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iyaesuyori, post: 415237, member: 15383&quot;]Wow, this thread was started a few years ago and has really covered alot in coin storage. I was looking at my collection and considering alot from what I have read. They are in a dark environment &amp; always a steady 70F and an air cleaner in the room that cleans out dust/particles and allergens and a fan that circulates the air around to maximizes the cleaning unit. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most of the non rare/keys are in 2x2&#039;s which in turn are inside double row 2x2 boxes with a pack of dessicant. Coins not yet put in 2x2&#039;s are inside coin tubes, which are in turn inside storage boxes as well with a pack of dessicant. Mint + proof sets are inside boxes with packs of dessicant, as well as all currency inside sleeves, inside currency boxes with dessicant packs. Alot of my fancier silver dollars and commeratives are in air-tite holders inside the same double rowed storage boxes w/ dessicant. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pretty much everything has been triple or more protected. I got boxes that were purported to be inert, safe and good for coins. I get everything from <a href="http://www.jakesmp.net/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jakesmp.net/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.jakesmp.net/index.html</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.jpscorner.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jpscorner.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jpscorner.com/</a> which have always been great on delivery, pricing and product information. I still want to upgrade my dessicants to cannisters so I can recharge them without buying the bulk smaller packs that I do every so often. I am also thinking about swapping over to coin albums, possibly ones that can fit air-tites. The Dansco and Intercept albums seem really good for that and especially what I am reading on CT. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A fair poundage of world coins that I was thinking 2x2 firm flips to avoid pvc contaminates... but, how would that stand for the test of time? Assume they will be in a friendly coin environment... Or, what would be best that is reasonable price wise, long lasting (my lifetime) and attractive diplay for world coins? Since there are so many size/shapes/materials involved having a pre-sized 2x2 isn&#039;t an option it seems... I considered the flips since the whole coin is visible and you can use an insert to describe / detail each one on the flips with double pockets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any advice based on how I am currently storing and on what I want to upgrade anyone? Everything I read on CT I take to heart and go for the gold, lol. So please don&#039;t hold back![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
