HackerJC Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 02/03/2026 11:15 pm I really appreciate everyone's input, you all have way more experience than I do. They have to hold the coin for 5-7 days because I paid with an echeck but hopefully I'll have it in 9 days or less and get to see what it looks like in person. I will definitely search for the proper way to store slabbed coins... right now they are all in a box which in a fire resistant bag with a couple 100g desiccants... which is in safe in my house. I was storing each one in a small 4x3 in. ziplock baggie as well but I took them out because I was afraid I might be locking in moisture. Report this Post to the Staff

You can use them, just add a desiccant bag inside with the slab.

I recommend a nice, harshly cleaned copper cent in there too as a sacrificial absorber of anything that finds its way in. Steel wool works great! Lincoln Cent Lover!
