So, the basement is finally (close) to being finished. basement wall repaired, zero water coming in, walls rebuilt, carpet replaced, moulding replaced and consumer electronics restored to funtional capacity.
so the wife says to me: good ! now we'll finally have a room where you can put all your coin stuff ! (she said "junk" actually)... That means books, camera lights, and other assorted peripherials.
humidity tends to be a bit higher down there, and the temp a bit more stable (cooler) than the rest of the house... should I bother making/searching out a cabinet of some sort with a bunch of humidity control agents in them (like an Anti-Humidor!) to store my less valuable coins ?
Anything I have of signif value is in the bank with some elemental controls. I have common morgans/peace dollar and other less valuable stuff (common darkside copper etc) here and there... if it's a nice piece I have them in airtites, otherwise, they're loose. Should I bother ?

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I think you mean DEHUMIDIFIER and not HUMIDIFIER.
