Vacuum Sealing

I've never heard of vacuum sealing coins. I guess it keeps your coins as fresh as the day you put them in.

seems like too much unnecessary work for a piece of bullion. resistance to milk spotting is futile.

and why would anyone want to wrap their coins in pvc.


i think i know the answer but, i don't think i can spell it.

 

This seems like a lot of work to try to prevent what nature intended. I won't go to more trouble than using an airtite for a coin that I want to preserve from damage through handling or excessive exposure to the elements. I would also be a little concerned about the plastic being in direct contact with the coin under vacuum conditions. Even if it is free of PVC, it is still touching the surface.

 

''Even if it is free of PVC''

currently, there is no plastic bag/vacuum bag available to/or easily obtained by the public that is free of pvc and composed of inert material. sonic sealed vacuum compressors and bags are used in chemical/biological r/d settings but, are priced out of most collector's budgets. and all sonic sealed items have a retest date/expiration date from 2 mo-1 year as the bags deteriorate.

even then you are permanently entombing the coin with the contaminants that are already present on the surface.

 

Get a new ammo can, put your coins, kilo's, bar's etc in their air tite holder's, tube's ,sleeve's etc etc etc. Put em all in the ammo can with a large clay selica football shaped gig, close box and hear that snap with that brand new seal, and your good to go. I have had ammo stored in with this same process for 15 year's, and ammo is as fresh as day i bought it.
