Bulk storage
« on: February 03, 2010, 02:22:28 pm »
As I'm sure many others on this forum, I have a lot of cheap inexpensive coins ( thousands, in my case) that  do not find their way into archival flips& renwax thing. There are just too many of them. Nevertheless I do not consider sacrificing them to her Majesty Bronze Disease.  So what is the best option here? So far I kept them in airtight containers with dehumidifiers , now I am thinking about sinking them in 96% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Good/bad idea?

What do you want to do with them?
If you're considering dumping them in alcohol, I suspect you're not planning on handling them often.
Why not let them go if they're not a collection but just an accumulation?

I will let them go of  course eventually but  atm dont  have enough time and will.  One can hoard in many ways   :evil:
So I am talking a few years at least.

It just seems such a waste if no one's going to look at them.
If you don't care for them now, do you think you will in a few years?

Why do you feel you need to do something like that?
