I store the bulk of my medals in Ryker cases. They're completely safe and dustfree. My orders I store in display cabinets. Never had any issues.
And with the damage you have; I can't imagine this happens by itself. Enamel is strong, like glass. But when dropped or touched wrong, and pressure on the wrong spot it can break.
My advice, use Ryker cases (or anything similar).
Edit: I would NEVER use these plastic pouches. These always have contactpoints with medals which will show after a long time. As said, Ryker cases is the way to go.

I haven't seen this happen before on impeccable service medals. I would agree with Marcel that it could be from poor handling- before you and maybe finally flaked off. Could also be poor application of the enamel at manufacture. Doing a quick search, apparently enameling brass is rather difficult.

Okay, thank you very much for this information! I check these Ryker cases and they look like they are absolutely perfect.
Quite a surprise that brass and enamel is a tough match. I'll check out some replacements, and make sure to be extra careful with such awards like this.

even mylar? That is what they make high end coin slips out of (the soft kind are not for long time storage).
