Get a good desiccant (drying agent)to keep moisture out and I would recommend a supply of different size Zip-Lock bags. I use them for 2x2's, Dansco Albums, etc. Have no problem with corrosion or other unwanted stuff. For my expensive stuff which is kept in a bank safe deposit box I have that stuff vacuum sealed because as I found out when I did a moisture test on the safe deposit vault I came up with high moisture content. Was told that's because of the Air Conditioning circulating. Better safe than sorry.

My opinions only

Air conditioning dehumidifies the air. If the moisture is high, then the AC is not circulating.

That being said...

That comment about the AC was from a Bank Teller not me. Anyhow I got a high moisture reading inside the vault. That's why I keep a desiccant inside the safe deposit box also besides doing everything else. All my unslabbed Morgans are kept in Air-Tites also. Guess you can say I'm overprotective about my stuff.

I had assumed it was.

Nothing wrong with that at all.
