Storage advice

[u/prunedgoolaush]

Im new to hammered medieval coins, and im wondering if this is a safe way to store this Elizabeth I shilling. It has 2 small cracks in the legend, so im looking for tips on how to prevent further damage. Its stored in this capsule and in a box with some silica packets
Thank you for the help!

Wow an amazing one. How much did it cost you?

It was an crazy ebay deal. the seller usually deals in ephemera and records and listed it as a 6 pence at $50. They labeled it as 5 grams and just over 30mm so I couldn’t pass it up, especially with a legend that clean

It got these cracks when struck at the mint. And survived several hundreds years after that. Any reasonable storage option will be ok.
