<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 378712, member: 6036&quot;]Nobody said use soft flips. All agree the PVC plasticizers are harmful for coins. Soft flips are out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are several reasons why saflips are less than optimal. One obvious one is that the <b>coins can slide around</b> in there. There are many high end coins which would be even higher if not for that exact sort of &quot;slide rub&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For valuable MS or proof coins, it can really be a big hit, $$$-wise.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another obvious problem is that <b>saflips aren&#039;t sealed</b>. Things can get in there and potentially cause scratches. One day, after doing some good ol&#039; fashioned slab crackin&#039;, I noticed a plastic shard had snuck it&#039;s way into a flip. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wish I could find the thread. It&#039;s a recent one. It listed other concerns with using saflips for longterm storage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
