<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 563866, member: 13650&quot;]It should be noted from previous discussions on here that slabs are NOT completely air tight.&nbsp;&nbsp; So minimal amounts of gases from deterioration of PVC or anything else, could theoretically leak into a slab.&nbsp; It may not be much but over many years, who knows?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Intercept Shield also makes boxes that hold slabs, that come with inserts for each individual slab.&nbsp; They have clear windows so you can still see the coin and it&#039;s info.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Some people think it&#039;s going too far having &#039;slab holders&#039; for slabs, but 10 come with the box when you buy it anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; A clean, new looking slab will be more attractive than a scratched up one if you go to sell.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think it&#039;s pretty cheap protection.&nbsp; &nbsp; If there&#039;s a coin that you never want to be toned or tone further, this would be the route to go.&nbsp; &nbsp; They also make hard plastic 2x2&#039;s for loose stuff and boxes for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; These are for better coins of course.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve never cared for plastic flips or cardboard 2x2s for long term storage.&nbsp; Chemicals from cardboard can damage stuff too, so I don&#039;t store any with my collection as a simple precaution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
