TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/07/2011 2:39 pm Hi, I was wondering with the danger of pvc or pcv ( I forget which it is ) in some plastic flips, if the graded coins I have are safe. The flips are sealed but they are somewhat flexible and I recall hearing flips that are more rigid and less flexible are safer from having the ugly oils oozing onto coins as they are what make the flips more flexible. Short version: Has anyone ever found any damage on their coins from the soft flips ICCS uses to certify coins? Thanks w-dog Report this Post to the Staff

yoda Valued Member Canada 103 Posts	Posted 06/07/2011 2:57 pm my understanding is that ICCS uses an outer soft flip that contains pvc, but the inner holder is safe, so the only danger from that perspective would be if the inner holder cracked. Then, of course, there's the issues of moisture getting sealed inside, the ease of tampering, the lack of internet presence.... Report this Post to the Staff
