<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1669784, member: 15199"]The film is safe. Most of the problems come from the cardboard dust which can absorb water vapor ( as they are not water tight). If you use staples, use stainless steel staples as the regular ones can rust over time and begin corrosion on the part of the coin closest to the tines. Obviously, probably the most frequent damage is from the bent staple ends. A flattening stapler is preferred, but carelessness and tight packing can cause scratches. If adhesive tape is used to seal the edges, archival tape should be used. With careful selection as to quality and care, they are satisfactory , but most people just look for the cheapest way and may suffer from it. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
