What is the Humidity Level Inside Your S.D.B ?

What is the humidity level inside your S.D.B. or your storage area for your coins?

It is likely higher than the level in my home. Many of us use other methods in the safe deposit box to control the atmosphere better.

I keep a high capacity rechargable dessicant unit in my sdb's, so its minimal.

With a small Hygrometer from any cigar store for about $5 you'll never have to guess again.They use them in humidors to keep cigars fresh.They can be as small as a nickel up to half dollar size digital ones.

Do you seal your coins and desiccant in a large zip-lock bag or sealable Tupperware style plastic box? If not, your desiccant will become quickly saturated and will need to be recharged every couple of days.

To refine my question...... What is the humidiy % inside your coin storage boxes , or what is a safe % to keep your coins? What should the humidity % never exceed? Thank's

Humidity level should stay below 30%.

I put all of my coins in intercept shield double slab boxes. They offer enough protection. The de-humidifying units I currently use last about a month.

I have many bags of dessicant in the safe... never any problems... Cheers, RickO
