Storage question for proof/maundy sets

[Oxford_Collector 0]

I've quite recently acquired a couple of older proof and Maundy coin sets, where the coins are stored in their original padded cases, but are not protected in any other way (i.e. they're not encapsulated). Do you think its safe to just store them in their cases, or are they more likely to lose their lustre and become toned (most the coins are silver) unless I stored the coins out of the cases in capsules/2x2 flips/acid-free envelopes? Do you think having a few silica gel sachets in the same draw as the coins are stored in would help matters at all, as far as long-term storage goes? I do intend to take the coins out and examine them from time to time, obviously!

Thanks

I placed my Maundy coins in coin fitting capsules and placed them right back in their now 105 yr old home.

I'm surprised they fit back in the case after putting them in coin capsules, it doesn't look like there's room in the case I have...

These are small capsules called Kointains, I buy them directly from the manufacturer, but I think you can find them on Vcoins also.
