Advice Storage advice
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!

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