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.

No storage method on earth is technically air tight.
A true statement that needed repeating.

Me too, and the clarity of the plastic is the best there is right now too


Do they tell what plastic resin is being used?

Sign up for the PCGS registry it is a place for you to organize your photos. 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.

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.

Perhaps numismatic cryogenics?

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.

Slider, thanks for the ideas. I plan to do just that on the PCGS website.
