<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2119773, member: 70703&quot;]I&#039;m not going to contend anything LOL...like I said it was my guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had read somewhere that even the mylar in these flips have to have PVC, or some other softener, used in them to soften the film, that they were not a good long term storage solution, and that even the mylar will tone coins. This is what I based my guess on. I&#039;ve seen mylar flips where they were stapled shut all catty-whompus which caused the mylar film to wrinkle or wave...the places where that film was closer to the coin&#039;s surface received toning while the places in the film that were higher off the surface of the coin had completely different or no coloring at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hadn&#039;t thought about rubber bands having to have sulfur used in them..in fact all these folks around here who know this stuff blow my mind. I only have enough room in this mind for one thing...coins...trying to learn the physics and science of a rubber band out gassing sulfur through the mylar film on a coin flip by which it tones a coin in less than two weeks is beyond the capacity of my memory banks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sheesh, it took enough brain power to type that out that I probably just lost memory of otherwise more important coin info.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, i got a cigar from [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] for my educated guess, so I&#039;m happy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
