It looks like they do have covers maybe even made onto the bottoms as it looks like the ones that are stacked has the lids attached pointing upwards. Look at the picture, the stacked ones are laying down on the lower left hand side, you can see the lids sticking all which a way out from the bottoms With lids even worse. More chances of turning over and shaking. |

One easy way to check, if not a final way to check, is to take one nd put it over a flame and if it burns green then it contains PVC. I was told this by an expirenced dealer, but make sure you do it outside if that wasn't clear.

Thanks everyone for your input! they do have lids that lock and unlock. there is absolutely no marking on them, I guess I will have to get burning them! as far as them banging into one another I mainly store copper pennies in them. I just use some of them for collections of circulated quarters. I would never keep any nice ones in them!

Keep us updated on if they have PVC or not.

Another indicator for the bad (plasticized) PVC would be how they feel (slick and greasy) and smell (heavy plastic odor, like a new shower curtain).

Why take chances. Just take all those coins and send to me and I'll find a safe place for them all.
