JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 06/23/2008 7:33 pm Hello everyone, first I would like to introduce myself to everyone I have been lurking on here for a while learning alot! I am sure it has been thought of but would sealing our coins with a household food type vacume bagging system be helpful to preserve say those wonderful Red cents and other high grade coins? Or perhaps using one of the new tupperware type food containers that have the latches and silicone seal around the lid to make them air tight then placing a dessicant pack in it. Would love to hear some opinions! Good and bad. Report this Post to the Staff

In a few months they started to get all funky looking and it looked like it was having a reaction with the plastic in the bag and ended up damaging the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 06/25/2008 09:40 am The food service industry isn't supposed to use "PVC" anymore I heard, because, for one thing, it's more expensive to make it with that, and for the other......food coming in contact with PVC. Sandwich ziplock bags....no PVC......cellophane wrap materials...no PVC..and newer "food" storage containers (tupperware)....no PVC. This isn't "my" piece of info........just heard it said here before and repeating this to you. Report this Post to the Staff
