[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 20339, member: 824"]From the Snap Tite box (similar to Whitman's 2x2's): "Holders are made of inert polystyrene that will not harm your coins. Two halves simply snap together virtually airtight. Holders have a frosted background and a clear window. Can be used for U.S. coins or World coins by matching the size of the holder to your specific coin." As for standard 2x2's with a mylar window. Air can get into these as well. 3 or 4 staples will hold it together, but it isn't air tight. Now, the Air-Tight products are just that. However, you better make sure that coin is perfectly dry (don't even breathe...vapor droplets) otherwise you will look at the coin later and say to yourself, "What the?". That is why I like the Intercept Shields. Something needs to absorb "all of the bad stuff" that can hurt our coins. That is what I use for my good stuff.
