Darrell Watt New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 5:10 pm Hello all new here and I just purchased my first round of 1999-s silver states and I had heard some where that we should take them out of the plastic holders that the mint puts them in. Any thoughts? Regards Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 6:34 pm In my experience I have seen some silver State Quarters tone in OGP holders. I have also has some for several years that have not toned. What would you put them in? The best thing you can do is keep them in a humidity controlled environment. Report this Post to the Staff
Darrell Watt New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 6:40 pm Thanks GR58 my thinking was to put them in air tights (or the knock-offs) what do you think of that? Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12281 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 6:58 pm If you are looking to move the coins to different holders in an effort to better preserve their original state over the long term, Air-Tite holders are an excellent choice. I would suggest, however, that you spend a few cents extra per holder and purchase the actual Air-Tite brand holders vs. knockoffs. The quality of Air-Title holders is well-known and has been established over many years. Who knows what long-term results you will get with knockoffs?

Darrell Watt New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 7:31 pm Thank you for your insight I will see what I can do.BTW is it true the prices of the 1999-S are dropping and do you think they will rebound? Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 9:44 pm I agree with Commems on the ain't-tite holders. To me the knockoffs do not hold up. They easily scratched and get cloudy. ------------------------------- If I remember right 1999 silver proof sets had a high of $300, I think the set now has a greysheet price of $75. I hope this price is the bottom. If it is the bottom, it could be a long time to see the price increase. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188740 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 11:54 am The OGP is not sealed, so they offer no better protection than a Dansco album, where I have moved most of my proof set coins. With that begin said, if you want the best protection, I agree with the Air-Tite recommendation. Regardless of the holder you choose, you want to keep them in an environment with stable temperature and low humidity.
