[QUOTE="sand, post: 8426926, member: 118540"]I recommend searching CoinTalk, and Forum Ancient Coins, and Google, to find out, what effects, the various types of wood have, on ancient coins. I read somewhere, that mahogany is best, because it causes the least amount of toning and patina, on coins. Search, and find out, if that's true. Myself, I don't worry about toning and patina, because I like toning and patina. For myself, I use Abafil velvet trays, and Abafil cases. I read, that Abafil velvet trays, won't harm ancient coins, except perhaps to cause the coins to tone and patina. Each tray has silk, or something like that, on the bottom of the tray. Also, the cases are lined with silk or something like that. I don't know, if the silk or whatever, has any effect on coins. I've only had the Abafil trays and cases, for 4 years, so I haven't had enough time, to find out, if they would harm coins. Regarding the PVC in your new coin cabinet, I don't know enough, to know, if the PVC in the bottom of each tray, would harm your coins. If you had to, perhaps you could remove the PVC sheets, and replace them, with sheets of acid free paper or velvet or silk or something that is known not to affect coins much, using wood glue or something to glue them on. Now that I think about it some more, perhaps acid free paper would not be a good idea, because if a coin is thick, then the coin may rub against the paper, and get worn. It seems silly, to use PVC sheets, in a coin cabinet, because "PVC" is a dirty word, among coin collectors.[/QUOTE]
