  Reverse proofs and uncirc. get them as well.

  I have several sets of NGC 20th anniversary SAEs in a safe deposit box. Am I at risk?

  Humidity is bad for the SAEs

  The so-called business strikes are much more prone to spots than the proofs if thats what you are asking.

  The short answer is ALL of the SAEs are at risk. Some more than others. Some climates more than others.
  Some slabbed more than raw.
  
  Do a search...there are a lot of threads on this.

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  If you remove environment, ASE's stay blast white. I store all my Eagles in Food Saver
  
  vacuum sealed bags. No spotting, or milking. Yes, I sealed my 20th Anniversary ASE sets, no problems.

  These 2005 ASE's are still mint fresh. Why? There is no environment to interact with.
  
  2 years in sealed bags, no issues. The unit is a Black and Decker, and I use the Food Saver brand bags.

  Why would you think they are not safe? The largest amount of banks are air conditioned 24/7. There is no separate air system for those areas in a bank. At least in the many banks I've checked. Someone once said they add moisture to the air in those areas so I did some checking and basically was told by bank officers that is really a nutty statement. Yes your coins are safe. Of course there are robbers that break into those also.
