Suomi Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 11/28/2019 3:31 pm Does anyone know how particular PCGS is about receiving the coins in the 2 1/2 in mylar flips they recommend. The only ones I have are about 2 inches and a bit on the tighter side. I was wondering if I should purchase the size they recommend or, if it doesn't matter, leave them as is. Thanks!

PVC out gassing and goo doesn't form that quickly, many dealers use the soft flips as well as the coins they have aren't in inventory for long anyways. Some of the newer soft flips are PVC free, but they cost a lot more money, which isn't prudent for something you are basically throwing away. For proof coins I always use the poly bag protection inserted into the crown flip to prevent any sliding scuffs or scratches. Yes as basebal21 said regular 2x2 (NO STAPLES) will suffice in a pinch.

As already mentioned, 2x2s or stapled flips will be rejected. Report this Post to the Staff
