<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 685719, member: 4230&quot;]there are more &#039;options&#039; for storage, then info about those &#039;options&#039;. Everyone will have differing opinions about this, but IMHO, if the product doesnt say what its made from - they possibly have somethign to hide - meaning vinyl. In that post i wrote, (i dont remember all the technical terms, so i actually have to read it from time to time to remember which chemicals i am looking for lol) it lists alot of the more common chemicals in use, and which are considered bad or unsafe, and which are considered safe. For pages, 2x2&#039;s (or the 1.5x1.5&#039;s that were mentioned) only use the products that are made from the chemicals mentioned as safe in that post. If they say vinyl, or say safe PVC (of which there is no safe pvc), or if they dont mention the material, walk away! After looking for a while, you will start to see the same brands popping up, and you wil wuickly start to see which ones are safe, and where to buy them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Something to consider for binders and storage books. If you look at the companies that sell books in which to store your copins ... alot of them are VERY popular with collectors. If they are made from paper, they contain acid. Those acids will leech out of the paper and onto your coins. This is why museums dont use whittman ect. Some products use a sacrificial chemical vapor that coats your coins for protection... you be the judge on that - me, im weary of it! </p><p><br /></p><p>For store bought binders... they are all vinyl (there are some recycled binders that are made from paper products, paper contains acids too). There is a chance, that if your coin is in a 2x2, airtight or whatever, and then placed in the coin page ... yes, there is a chance the sulphiric acid fromt he PVC will gasify and possibly reach your coins! But there are not alot of options for safe binders, unless you make your own out of metal rings, and lexan sheets as front and back cover. If the pvc in the binder gasifies, it will have to get past the page, then the 2x2 or capsule and then to your coins. Yes, its possible, but you do have layers of protection. Not foolproof by any means .. but like i said.. not alot of options!</p><p><br /></p><p>Please dont take any of my comments in a way that makes you think i know it all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> i surely dont!!! I have done alot of research on this.. but i have not researched every product or material. So there might be products out there that i do not know about that are a safe alternative to store bought vinyl binders! if not now.. i hope in the near future!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any questions on a product or material.. please feel free to post, or send me a PM. I dont use coin pages, but i do use 4&quot; store bought binders for my currency books. But i will always try to answer the best i can <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
