I'm trying my darnest to keep my avatar (Bahama 20c) from turning any more. It's all NT, and would hate to see it get any more so.

Somewhat stolen from BadThad... Place coin in Air-tite, Air-tite in 2x2, 2x2 in archival page, page in binder, binder in Ziploc type bag with desiccant and cleaned sacrificial copper coin. He would say that the more layers, the better.  |

Foxwoods, I don't think vaccum bags for food contain PVC because that's not food safe. I believe they use PP.

Foxwoods Man, I must be slow today. I didn't catch the PP until you mentioned it. But it's still better than poo poo.
No suppression here.
On a serious note, you can take a 2x2 and tape all the edges closed. That should make a nice seal as long as the plastic windows integrity doesn't get broken.

The "sacrificial copper" absorbs all atmospheric garbage that'd tone the other coin?

Great topic ndwlegal. I also recently acquired a couple of coins, NGC slabbed wheaties, that have nice toning that I would like to see remain as is. I'd like to know if they are sufficiently protected in the sealed slabs. Bob Edited by NJ Bob

 guaranteed this will stop all toning or further toning. Or just use a 2x2 and seal all edges well. 3M taped should work. |

No, coins in slabs can turn if stored improperly. Slabs are NOT completely air tight. Put your slabs in ziplocks with desiccant and a cleaned, red cent. Then put the ziplocks into tupperware. MO LAYERS = MO BETTA |
