There are several old threads where people have experimented with this.

In 2007, Mila-Cent tried it on some mint-fresh coins and showed the results after a month. They didn't fare well (outgassing from the plastic). http://goccf.com/t/14446

In 2012, we had some more discussion on the topic, including one member's take on a home-made "vacuum sealer" using ziploc bags and a plastic straw: http://goccf.com/t/107143

In 2013, necro-posted into 2016, some folks talked about vacuum sealing entier albums, which seems to work better: http://goccf.com/t/154737

Some more in 2017: http://goccf.com/t/285216

There are other threads where vacuum sealing is mentioned as an option, especially for people living in humid climates.

I remembered that many coins of the late USSR were placed in a plastic seal during production. Unfortunately, for more than 30 years, the plastic has shrunk and turned into chips. I'm not sure that the coin was placed in a vacuum, but the plastic made itself felt on some coins.

Or 50 years.
Looking good!
