Best Way to Store Cu/ Ni Clad?

I'm looking for opinions. I've got a bunch in mint set packaging including many high grade coins and need to get them out. Right now I'm leaning to giving them an alcohol/ acetone soak and then putting them in 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 vinyl flips.

Will they be safe in the safety deposit boxes? Is there a cheaper or easier way to do this?

Does anyone know if clad that is still unaffected by the dreaded mint set tarnish are safe to store without a soak?

Any guidance appreciated.

Tempus fugit.

    Cladking,
    Just a reminder. Make sure the flips are the non-plasticized kind. I would also put some desiccant in the area you're storing them.

    Hey, cool.

    I'm not sure which have fared worse in 17 years; me or the clads still in mint sets. ;)

    I'm really happy to be here and it's been a very positive experience for me.
