[QUOTE="FlashInThePlanchet, post: 3568977, member: 101449"]Hi all, Although I have searched for and found several threads that deal with safe materials, I'd like some advice on a coin storage idea I have. I am currently storing some silver coins/rounds that I have in an Intercept box ([URL='https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/intercept-shield-2x2-storage-box.html']this type[/URL]), and each coin is, variously, in either an airtite or Quadrum Intercept Shield 2x2. Since these boxes have no dividers (didn't realize that at the time I bought them), I am considering making my own from a roll of [URL='https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duck-Brand-Foam-Cushioning-Roll-Wrap-12-In-x-20-Ft-Perforated-Every-12-Inches-White/43803676']LDPE packing foam[/URL], so that the coin holders don't clack into each other. Question 1: Should this material be a problem for my coins over the long term? I have the ability to get polypropylene foam sheets, but it is 2x the cost to do so, so if polyethylene will work, I will use it. Question 2: I have not found Duck Brand at my local Walmart, but they do have their [URL='https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pen-Gear-12-inches-x-20-feet-Foam-Cushion-Roll-White/55500361']own store brand[/URL] of this. I cannot, however, find a materials datasheet to know what it is made from for certain. Can I assume it is the same material, or is it likely not to be? Thanks for the help, everyone. I appreciate it![/QUOTE]
