just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 08:22 am All this is why I don't have any slabs. I simply put all my coins in Albums and then they go into a zip lock plastic bag. No problems for well over 30 to 40 or more years. Report this Post to the Staff

You can also create an online album for your PCGS coins. I use slab binders for storage of my coins in holders as I like to easily view my coins. You could also put a zip lock bag around the binder to keep the air out. Edited by Slider23 05/08/2018 12:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Hoxsie454 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 2:19 pm I hope I am not raining on anyone's parade, but during about seventy years of collecting coins I have never ever worried about storing my coins in an airtight system. Ambient humidity in my home is acceptable for my collection 90 percent of which is in 2x2s in 20 slot mylar pages in sturdy 3-ring binders. If I got involved in anything more sophisticated than that I would have lost interest in the hobby rather quickly. Report this Post to the Staff

As far as I know they all use a proprietary version (at least PCGS and NGC anyway) which they don't discuss the exact makeup of. Whether or not the information is buried in a slab patent somewhere I do not know but I don't believe they patents applied to the plastic composition. Report this Post to the Staff
