<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2696892, member: 112&quot;]Both of those are bad, but there is another as well. The mylar flips, or any of the non PVC flips, are made of much harder plastic and they have sharp edges. So, unbeknownst to the owner, when they put coins into the flips or take them out the flips, the flips themselves can and will scratch the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a very well known and all too common occurrence. It is for this reason that professional dealers only use the soft PVC flips when they sell and or ship coins to buyers. They won&#039;t use mylar flips at all.&nbsp; Short term, stress short term, use of the soft flips will not cause harm to coins - they know this and that is why they use them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the albums and/or ring binders like those pictured above, they can be just as dangerous, and sometimes even more so, to your coins. This is because they are very rarely made of archival quality materials. And in most cases they themselves, the albums and binders, contain PVC or other harmful materials.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am trying to get across is that it is not just the flips that you use that you have to worry about. You have to worry about anything and everything that is stored in any proximity to your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
