Storage For Coins?

Yeah I have this same question, I'm going to be moving to Alabama so humidity is a huge concern. Wood boxes are not a good idea because of outgassing though. I think I heard there are fireproof boxes that would be suitable?

Dessicants are probably good to have around too, but not real practical because you have to remember to keep changing or refreshing them. I'm going to get them anyway to be on the safe side just because of all the humidity problems.

I store a lot of my coins in an old recycled metal photographic equipment case.
Easy enough to find something like this an op. shop, flea market, garage sale or junk market day. Mine came from a church fete jumble sale for $2. Even an old beauty case with the guts removed can be suitable.
You may be even be fortunate enough to pick up something suitable with roadside shopping.

Although I use a safe for a few of my more valuable coins, the vast majority of them are in 2x2's in archival quality album pages in albums, which are rather informally stacked in recycled corrugated cardboard fruit packing cases!
I hide those under my bed!
I have about 15 albums, each holding about 200 coins, and about 1000 coins stored in other ways.

Dansco or Whitman albums are not for me, I collect World coins, ancient to modern, and formal pre made albums for date or type sets are not relevant to my type of collecting.

Crudely simple, but the collection is a working and living one, continuously subject to change.

Danskos and Whitman albums are great when you first start off because you can see which coins you need But as far as storing coins long term I'm with sel , 2x2 in good quality albums are the way to go.
The folders are especially bad news as they tend to tone the coins and when they are closed the coins can touch each other.
the airtites are good but I prefer the 2x2's personally

my collection coins are all 2x2s in 2x2 storage boxes I got online. Easy access for viewing and carefully planted around the house so not to look too conspicuous.

My bullion is in tubes for each denomination and I bought a dozen of those fake home cleaning product aresol spray cans, you know the ones, one is a Raid Ant Killer, an EZOFF Oven Cleaner etc... I stuff those to the brim with bullion/junk investment silver and keep them with the rest of the legit cleaning products. I also have boxes of pasta/rice that if you were to reach in past the top 3 inches of rice you would feel an odd burlap sack and low and behold, what do you think is in there? lol, no flippn' criminal is ever breaking in my house, getting past the alarm and discovering that stuff!!

Cipster, I remember reading the same thing. I think it has to do with the "fireproofing" material in the safe trapping in moisture, but I'm not 100% sure

dsfreeworld that is very very smart:)

I have over 100 Whitman Albums. All are in Zip Lock Plastic Bags. Most other coins are in 2x2's and then in those Whitman 2 row boxes that hold about 100 or more. Other coins are in those plastic tubes. Some of the coins in my Albums have been there for well over 20 or more years and no, nothing wrong with any of them.
I'm in a really high humidity area too.

True but I've got used to just pulling them out, doing whatever, pushing them back in. For my #1 sets, the ones with the highest graded coins, I usually use a double Zip Lock Bag and that really is a hassle. I also have a really great dehumidifyer for my house and it is on all year long.
