Sodium sesquicarbonate is a common treatment in coin cleaning circles for bronze disease. It's a tricky thing to treat but you do what you need to.

I have begun storing my coins in the wood coin stackable trays. For my coins I haven't stored in the tray, I use the archival paper flips. Great advice again! Thank you

Great video! I was wondering if a birch wood cabinet would be safe for storing ancient bronze and silver coins?

[@coinman.ancient]

Should be fine. Just depends on the age but I don’t think you will have a problem.

I might consider a dessicator with dessicant for coin storage if we need a very low humidity environment for the coins.

[@steve2256]

I use the rechargeable ones and they work fantastic.

What about ziplock bags?

[@F2D2C2]

You need to make sure there's no Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) in the Ziploc bags.

[@wwhaat]

@@F2D2C2 according to AI, there is no PVC in ziploc. Polyethylene is the material

@@wwhaatI still wouldn’t trust a ziplock, try SA flips
