<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigsWick, post: 71975, member: 3534&quot;]I searched the forums before starting this thread, and I found some interesting information, but not everything I hoped to get. So, here it goes.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I have several coins that I store in flips. They are nice coins but not ones I ever plan to send off for certification and encapsulation. Flips seem to be the best way to keep them. I like to take them out once in a while and handle them carefully, then they go back into their flips. I know that some flips contain PVC, and exposure to PVC can/will damage silver coins. I&#039;ve read in this forum that &quot;soft&quot; flips are made with PVC, &quot;hard&quot; ones are not. Mine are soft compared to others I&#039;ve had, but I have no idea if they contain PVC or not. I&#039;ve continued to use them because they are flexible and seem to be easier to get the coins out of and back into with a minimum of fuss and potential damage to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Some flips are advertised as being made of vinyl- are these the ones I want to use? Are they in fact the &quot;hard&quot; ones to which people refer, and the soft ones PVC?</p><p><br /></p><p>2) What about gold coins stored in PCV flips? What can happen to them?</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Can anyone recommend a brand name of flip to buy or maybe a Web site where the seller clearly states that the flips being offered do NOT contain PVC and are safe for long-term coin storage?</p><p><br /></p><p>4) What other options have you guys used for easy, safe and reusable storage of your coins, something similar to flips?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for any thoughts, help, and ideas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
