<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 444372, member: 15199&quot;]I had a small shock when I removed some slabbed coins, PCGS and NCG, that had been sitting in a safety deposit box at the bank for over 15 years. A few ( like a PCGS MS65&nbsp; 1915 Lincoln had developed some large &quot;carbon&quot; spots and some verdigris) convinced me that slabs are good for storage, but there still can be problems. I don&#039;t want to slab every thing I have to protect it. I know many swear by airtite or intercept. I do use intercept storage boxes now in the bank box,but I tested airtites, and they are not moisture tight. So I bought a Grizzly 8 inch plastic sealer through Amazon for $30 and $12 shipping. I thought the shipping was a rip off until the heavy carton arrived. The transformer looks like one from my old amateur radio. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I could make an info commercial...it seals pvc flips, mylar flips, ziplock bags, chips bags, even made little sacks out of bubble wrap for mailing a slab. I sealed some salt crystals in a safeTflip and submerged it in a glass of water. The crystals are still solid.</p><p>It is great for sealing coins to sell on ebay as you know if someone opened the package. The unit comes with spare heating wires and&nbsp; teflon top/bottoms. It has adjustable temperature to seal different thickness of plastic and no warm up time. Just insert and press and a few seconds later, done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
