<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2118244, member: 56859&quot;]One reason I posted this thread is that I&#039;m considering making my own coin cabinets and have been debating materials.&nbsp; It is tempting to have one special cabinet with leather-lined trays... leather that has been tanned with sulfur-laden compounds.&nbsp; If I did make such a cabinet, it would be a temporary home for some unnaturally bright coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>A possible choice for the tray liners in a &quot;safe&quot; coin cabinet may be Ultrasuede.&nbsp; It&#039;s polyester and comes in a wide array of colors.&nbsp; If the dyes aren&#039;t harmful to coins, this might be a viable option.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that has stopped me from building any cabinets is that for true environmental protection, I&#039;d probably have to store the cabinets inside of some other sealable enclosure. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin storage isn&#039;t easy!&nbsp; After dealing with hundreds of my grandfather&#039;s coins which were ruined by PVC flips, I bought Saflips.&nbsp; I hate them.&nbsp; Unless your paper tag is business card weight, inserting the paper is very difficult.&nbsp; Saflips crack at the fold after just a few openings.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of the larger/heavier coins cause them to crack even without handling.&nbsp; I take the coins out often and the Saflips have to be replaced frequently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
