<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 81393, member: 112&quot;]Coins should ALWAYS be stored with silica gel packs. But for the packs to do the job they are designed to do - the coins and silica packs must in some kind of container for the packs cannot absorb all the moisture in the air of a room. In other words - if you just store your coins in an open cardboard box with a silica pack inside - it won&#039;t do any good because the air in the room will circulate through the box as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best way I can describe the system is this. Coins should be in some sort of individual holder for each coin. Then the coins may be placed in small boxes or trays - and the small boxes or trays placed into a larger container like a safe, an ammo box, a Rubbermaid or Tupperware container etc - any kind of box that has lid that can be closed up &amp; sealed. Silica packs do an excellent job of absorbing moisture in the air - but they HAVE TO BE used in small enclosed areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now - when you say some coins may be contaminated, what do you mean ? Contaminated by what ? Post a pic of a coin that you think is contaminated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
