<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 72038, member: 1886&quot;]The biggest clue, IMO, is that PVC or vinyl flips typically cost around $2.50-$4.00 for 100 pcs. They often&nbsp;&nbsp; come in sheets that have to be broken apart.&nbsp; They also have a funky smell to them like a new shower curtain. The next biggest clue is if they don&#039;t say Polyethylene Terephthalate on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mylar is not a material it is a product or industry&nbsp; name for the material Polyethylene Terephthalate used in the auto and aerospace industry. We just call it Mylar because we&#039;re special&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .&nbsp; SAFLIPs are made from this material we call Mylar.&nbsp; They cost around $15-17 per 100. They are hard not soft and they are also hard to work with as opposed to soft flips. And so there is, IMO,&nbsp; a risk of rubs.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a problem for me as I like circulated coins and tokens--mostly small tokens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I would never try to put an MS-68 coin in a flip assuming that I would even buy an MS-68 coin. Nor would I try to put a proof in one either.&nbsp; Just take an old JFK half&nbsp; of little value and coat it with nail polish.&nbsp; Then put it in a flip. You&#039;ll see where the nail polish peeled away around the rims.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
