Man, "just carl" always has such excellent ideas ...

I've decided to freeze all of my coins and then only view them in my meat-locker (what could go wrong?)

I like the idea of removing the back slide and putting them in through the back (instead of pushing them in from the front). At least don't have to worry about "pushing" on the obverse of the coin by doing that, which is the side that you will see in the albums most of the time anyhow. Also, the acetate slide won't have to slide over the obverse, which should help decrease the chance of marring while sliding the cover back in. I figure you could easily mar a coin when pushing the slide in.

For what it is worth, I also usually use a microfiber cloth when I am putting coins in my albums.
Rest in Peace

would pre-cooling the coins to fridge-temp make it easier to slip them into their slots? ... or would the possible condensation be an even bigger problem?


Shouldn't be a problem in a sealed ziplock.

I don't know how I'll get inside the ziplock with the coins to put them in their album. Even so, there will be humidity inside the bag which will condense.

Special order from the Zip Lock people. Then you must simply inhale all the air out, have someone seal it from the outside, all is now safe.

Now there is one I didn't think of. Yet even in the meat-locker you would have to stop breathing or your breath would attack those coins. Imagine the damage if an ice cycle from your nose fell on a Proof.

The main problem I have had with Danskos is the hole is too big and the coins will fall out if I don't put strips of paper to hold the coins in
I have had no problems at all with my Whitman albums
