SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 8:17 pm I know a lot of people zip lock their coins with a sacrificial cent in the bag. Rather than ruining a cent, why not use one of the copper bullets or a copper round? It has a larger surface area and could be reused over and over again. I have some Copper 1 ounce bullets sitting in my safe and in zip lock bags. Do you think that rounds would be better than cents? Report this Post to the Staff

Copper will react with hydrogen sulfide and many other gaseous substances. I also put desiccant in the ziplock. The more layers and other protection, the BETTER!"
