SilverNcoin Valued Member Canada 68 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 12:44 pm Hi, I would like to know if these album are "safe" or not. Someone told me that it is made of PVCA a proprietary material made for uni-safe which is a form of PVC, but has this proprietary material to protect the plastic (it safe-guards it). It's intended to stabilize the plastic to prevent leeching and protect the coins. I have one here and placed a few silver 50 cents inside and it's look very nice. Your comment are welcome! Frank.

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 3:57 pm I prefer 2x2s and a 3 ring binder for the flexibility of how I organize things. For example, if I want to keep or 2 or 3 different varieties for a particular year. Doesn't look as nice though.
