captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 6:26 pm I'm a new collector and just got some 2X2 mylar Saflips. I noticed that there is a kind of iridescent rainbowy film on the flips. Is that how these flips are supposed to be? I'm just worried about harming the coins that I will be placing in them. Thanks for any wisdom anyone can send my way. Report this Post to the Staff

captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 6:46 pm John1---thanks for the welcome. I got them from Wizard Coin---apparently manufactured by E&T Kontainer Co. I'm just trying to figure out if this rainbow iridescence is normal for mylar flips---I never used them before. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5268 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 7:08 pm The rainbow effect is an optical effect-interference fringes is the technical term-because the two pieces of plastic are so close together. You can see if you touch the plastic the fringes move and if you separate them enough they disappear. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 10:16 pm It's 100% normal for Saflips. I believe they even address it specifically on the package or in the description. Nothing to worry about. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
