Conservation / storage

[Bxlsteve]

Hello everyone, 

 

it has probably been asked a thousand and one times, but can’t find it ... 

 

what is the best way to store and preserve silver coins? Especially hen you want them to stay as shiny and good looking as day one. 
 

many thanks

Thank you Blindguy,

I tought that would help indeed but I think it is very obtrusive and distracting. 


anyone another advise?

good info of silver and it's reaction in link.... if you smoke it can react to this in the atmosphere; dry and dehumidified is my favorite, silicon humidity absorbents, like the bags that come with electronics remove moisture from the air and can reduce any airborne sulfides which are in ciggy smoke ! http://www.chemistryexplained.com/elements/P-T/Silver.html

However, milk spotting can occur even in a perfect sealed capsule as this comes from the manufacturing process normally

For bullion coins, those tubes work good. Many bullion types have their own special tubes; for others you can get "square" plastic tubes which are sold by diameter in mm. The good brand seems to be Coin Safe.

For individual special bullion or collectible coins, the Air Tite brand capsules are great.

i have tried airtites and flips for coins and did not like them. if you are talking about bullion coins it does not matter but if you are talking about silver collector coins i like them in ngc holders.
