Are these flips safe?

I’m looking to switch my collection from cardboard 2x2s to flips and got these from my LCS. Will these be okay?

do they fell greasy or flexible?those are the type that usually contain PVC

 

Not necessarily, comparing them I ordered the cheapest on Amazon and there much more rigid but maybe a little less then some I’ve received from other collectors. Then again I don’t know if that’s true or I’m just scared.

 

Get those saflip ones, I tried to get some but the prices they are at over here in the uk are crazy. Some shops/people wanting £20 a pack

 

Unisafe are OK against PVC, they are stiff , and they can crack at the folds after years of environment. I have some about 20yo and they are OK because stored in the house and not garage. Didn't know they were still made. Jim

 

Ok that’s good, with these made of vinyl unplasticized I wasn’t sure appreciate the help.

 

Depending on your weather Mylar might last longer but are generally more expensive.

 

I’m in Canada but the coins are in 72 indoors all the time

 

Should last for decades in that environment , IMO, Jim

 

That’s a nice coin.....

 

Putting coins into them I’m actually happy to find a few flips cracked due to their rigidness!

 

I agree with potty dollar. The feel test - rub between thumb and finger - usually tells you everything. Greasy, sticky, bendy = bad. Hard, rigid, crisp = good.

I keep some of my old (bad) PVC flips to store labels, tags, etc. in, but not coins.
