Hi , I have a tube of 20 silver coins, is it better to store in the tube or put them in clear airtight capsules. Thanks madmax800
They're fine in the tubes If the lid is on tight and seals well that is. Remember a tube only has 1 possible place where air can get in, while putting every coin in an airtite means you have 20 seals to worry about
The capsules dont protect the coins from any "air" damage. The capsules only protect the coins in case you drop them or rub them again another coin etc.
Personally I find that tubes are fine... but I have had some people complain of scratched ASEs and scratched capsules. So I tend to store my stuff in resealable bags now: [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/675_resealablebags.jpg][/imgz] [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/675_img_3306.jpeg][/imgz]
yes capsules and resealed bags are a good way to go but I wouldnt bother for ase's or maples i would just leave them in the tubes, plus when selling these back to dealers I have never even had them ask what condition the coins were in.
