<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 8427414, member: 76440"]This is correct. I'm not aware of any risk to coins being "near" PVC plastic. The harm comes from storing coins in PVC flips with direct contact. The PVC degrades and can leave a film or crud on the coins where touching. I can attest from experience, as I had an old collection from my teen years stored in PVC flips. 30 years later, a few of the coins had some green, PVC crud on them. Most were not affected at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I share the opinion of others above that a "quality" coin cabinet should not contain plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
