<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 469065, member: 112&quot;]There are several reasons that dealers still use the soft vinyl flips that contain PVC. First of all they are cheaper, so they save money. Secondly, the non PVC flips can easily scratch a coin every time it is removed from the flip for examination by a potential buyer and then again when it is put back into the flip. Thirdly the non PVC flips tend to crack and break when they are repeatedly opened and closed, so not using them again saves money. And fourth, the dealers do not leave the coins in the PVC flips long enough for any damage to occur - so they are safe to use for a limited time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowledgeable collectors know all of this. They also know that the first thing they should do when they get a coin from a dealer in one of these flips is that they need to remove the coin from that flip and store it in a proper holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
