Leave Them In The Tubes?

Actually the "tubes" would be more "airtight" for these uncirculated coins and 2x2's obviously aren't. I use both myself though. If you will have them around some humidity or heat/cold temperature changes etc. etc...then I'd just leave em' in the tubes.....assuming they have a fairly snug fit in there as you remarked.....just something to think about. Also, the more you "handle them" the more chance for them to become "less than uncirculated" if ya know what I mean ! Ha Ha.......

Ahh the rims! Okay, I understand now how leaving coins in tubes works. Especially if I probably store it horizontally, eh? Thanks for the advice all.

Quick follow up question: Are those generic two piece hard plastic circular coin holders safe to use in the long run? Not those Air-Tites with the foam, just the basic ones without foam. I've seen coins in these capsules with toning on the edges or the rims. Is it worth switching to Air-Tites for silver coins?

EagleFoot - Handling my uncirculated coins leads to insta-circulation! lol

I don't fully trust tubes, I put mine into zip lock bags with a dessicant pack and seal it. I've actually seen some tubes of Lincolns where some moisture got in and turned them all green.
