Do we know for sure that air-tites with the foam rings are archival?

    I've bought some air-tites for my coins but after learning more about acids, etc.... I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that they're archival and won't cause the coins to tone badly...

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    I believe airtites to be the absolute best.

    This thread raises a question in me.
    How do the capsules used by the US Mint compare to airtites?

    The "foam" rings are made out of "Volara"...

    Thanks for the thread. Now I know what that stuff is called.

    They are basically the same, but made by a different company. And before you ask, no I have never been able to find out specifically which company.
