CaddoFarms Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 6:19 pm I've acquired quite a few coins and was wondering if anyone vacuum seals their coins. I've seen this topic on the forum, some dated back to 2007. The information seems sporadic, and food saver recommends placing some paper on the waffle side of the bag for protection. Since air/moisture are the causes of deterioration, is this not the way to go? Verdicare and seal them away? Edited by CaddoFarms 04/07/2017 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 6:31 pm Food saver bags are polyethylene/nylon. Food-safe bags should not contain PVC.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 7:03 pm I've never tried it but I don't see any harm other than difficulty accessing them. For longer term storage, I think it will help protect them.

Mintmarks Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 4:32 pm I vacuum seal wrapped rolls for long term storage. I've also vacuum sealed coins in 2 x 2s. So far I've not noticed any ill effects. Report this Post to the Staff
