Caferacer311 Valued Member United States 209 Posts	Posted 12/01/2011 1:35 pm Hello this might be a dumb question but I bought some Coin World holders and I used a plastic bag to push the coins in, is that harmful at all? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188342 Posts	Posted 12/01/2011 2:20 pm Are you talking about the bags? Even if the bag was platicized PVC, you are not in contact with the coin long enough to affect the coin. That is, as long as the plastic bag has not started to degrade. Does it feel slimy or dry? Dry is good. The bigger concern, in my opinion, is the abrasiveness of the plastic bag. A soft cloth would be a better option.

tokenmast Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 12/01/2011 2:24 pm If it was a sandwich bag? They are made from low density polyethylene and fairly soft as plastic goes .the barrier will keep finger prints off. So good choice ! no PVC in them Report this Post to the Staff
tokenmast Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 12/01/2011 4:36 pm cotton fiber has a density of 1.54--1.56 g/cm³ cotton hardness ? LDPE has a density of 0.910-0.940 g/cm3 shore hardness of 44-50 I would go with jbuck's recommendation as he has handled a lot more coins than I. You can scratch bag with finger nail, but how do you tell if you have scratched a cloth? Report this Post to the Staff
Caferacer311 Valued Member United States 209 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 6:58 pm Thanks everyone! I was just curious about it the bag was harmful. Do you guys no if slabed coins are mostiure and humidity safe? Are they pefectly preserved for the long run? Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 9:00 pm Slobs are not hermetically sealed. Even if they were, if the TPG puts a big fingerprint on a coin, or sneezes on it, the problem will grown inside the slob. Report this Post to the Staff
