SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/18/2015 02:17 am I have a bunch of junk silver in my save and some .999 bullion. I have a small silica gel brick you bake to reset. It claims to dehumidify 3 square feet. I have a 1 square foot safe. Would that keep most of the silver safe? Also, If I want to protect my dansco 7070 from nastiness, would I seal it in a plastic bag? If so, witch kind? Are coins in plastic tubes safe? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to be safe even outside my safe. Report this Post to the Staff

I use Whitman clear round plastic tubes for my bu rolls of Lincolns... some members prefer the square non clear tubes. because they are easy to stack with out falling over. but I hear because of their soft plastic (PVC ?) That it's not good for bu coins. ,, your call ! Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 07/18/2015 3:58 pm A 7070 will fit into a 2 gallon zip lock bag but not the 1 gallon. Most stores sell the 2 gallon but they are a little harder to find than the 1 gallon. I put my Dansco albums, mint sets, and 2x2 and other assorted coins in zip lock bags along with a desiccant pack in each; then I also have a desiccant pack in the safe as well.
