<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2117804, member: 46237&quot;]Several years ago I bought a coin lot that included a silver proof Washington 25C. When I received it, the coin stack was rubber banded, and when I slid the rubber band off the stack I saw a band of dark toning on this silver proof, exactly where the rubber band had been.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Malmox/2013-01-30_21-56-08_348_zpsacdac0eb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller replaced the proof as soon as I sent the photo I took, but was shocked that this could happen through the mylar at all, let alone in such a short time span. Since then I have been avoiding rubber banding coin stacks like the plague, to the extent where I have made all my TPG submissions at shows to avoid using rubber bands. I&#039;m sure there are brands that are safe to use, but I don&#039;t recall ever seeing &quot;safe&quot; rubber bands sold by coin supply companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>To those who use special rubber bands to avoid this, what do you use and where do you get them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
