I recently bought this coin off of provident. It is a GORGEOUS 5 oz copper coin. Like, it is perfect. Which is why I'm sure you could understand my fear when I opened the package and got hit in my face by the smell of a shower curtain.



Yes, they sent it out in a PVC ridden flip. And who just has flips or air tites around that would fit this type of coin?



The real question is, do they make anything big enough to properly store this coin? Are there any alternatives to safely store this coin?

Any help will be appreciated!

First, it's not a coin.
As the advertisement said, it's a copper round.
"A coin is a piece of hard material used primarily as a medium of exchange or legal tender."

As for a protective holder the only thing I can think of is a custom piece from Capital Plastic.
But that would probably cost more than you paid for the round.

Someone else may come along with a better solution.

Sorry, you're right about the coin part. I usually use the word "coin" for just about everything. I forgot I get corrected for that on here :P

And thanks!
