<p>[QUOTE=&quot;predcarn, post: 149963, member: 6000&quot;]I think the lowly mylar 2X2 is getting a bad reputation here. Take a close</p><p>look at a new 2X2. The inner lining is a continual sheet of mylar. When a</p><p>coin is put into a correct size 2x2, and stapled properly, the mylar forms</p><p>a contact closer I bet than any &quot;capsule type&quot; of holder. The mylar is</p><p>drawn taut around the obverse and reverse of the coin, preventing any</p><p>air from moving in and out. Maybe the rim might be affected over decades</p><p>of storage, but no more than in a capsule. There will be some remnant air</p><p>in all containers unless the container is assembled in a vaccum or inert gas</p><p>environment. I think the airetite and a good mylar 2X2 would have similar</p><p>storage abilities, and also that most damage is done in handling and </p><p>storage of the coins before they reach this environment. Take a look at</p><p>one of your 2x2 around the rim of the obv. and rev. notice how tight the</p><p>seal seems. I have a few modern commemorates ( silver) I purchased from</p><p>a wholesaler in capsules, and already changes are occurring. Not from</p><p>the capsules fault, but I am sure they mishandled the coins inserting them</p><p>into capsules. JMHO. There are also some times when a 2x2 size might</p><p>not be around, so I also use SAFLIPS with inserts. Your mileage may vary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
