<p>[QUOTE="Trimetime, post: 2810838, member: 85407"]I would recommend the following: You are trying to protect the coins and possibly have a way to add information to the coin by writing on the holder. Most flips are generally made from inert plastic, (no PVC), so you are good there. Before inserting the coin in the flip and stapling it shut, be sure to tap the flip and possibly wipe the flip with a lint free cloth to remove any cardboard dust. This will help to prevent future spots on the coins. Rubber bands should not be used, because they contain sulfur that will tone the coin. The bands also get sticky after a few years and will get stuck on the holders. Also be careful on the type of coin pages that you use in your binders. most contain PVC that eventually degrades and can leach onto the coins, even in the holders. The safe pages are usually are not soft and don't contain any PVC plasticizers. This is what causes the green slime on coins that can damage them. Last note: High quality flips are made from acid free cardboard. some cheap ones are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
