[FlorinCollector]

@fehk2001 i got these a little while ago. Are these the correct thing? When i bought them they had really strong smell and were all stuck together so i assumed pvc?

[fehk2001]

Cut the saflip into half then seal it 

I got one from eBay post from china for 2 pound , I forgot how much now

Yea these are pvc surely 

it’s soft 

non pvc are hard-er material 

[FlorinCollector]

Man I checked so much as well ?? these descriptions were lying. Well if anyone has any non-pvc flips that i could buy say about 100. Im happy to buy from one of you so i know for sure they arent pvc.

if u get 50 saflip 2x2 from morezone 

cut them into half and then seal it, u will create an  air tight storage for the coin as well 

BUT do not use vacuum machine gold coins with it because u may bend the thin gold coin 

for flips the link is above

Would you recommend treating somehow before putting into new holders?

Treating ? What do u mean 

[MickD]

Is it worth trying to clean them somehow?  Do you think it's worth trying to reverse any potential damage from PVC ?  Sorry to harp on but I find it really exasperating that lots of presumably reputable/knowledgeable dealers sell coins in what are probably PVC holders.  I can put it down to experience but I'd like to limit any damage.

no one will encourage others to clean coins ? just in case you mess it up but two years I think will be just about fine , otherwise u can do as follows 

acetone 99.99 pure , soak them 1 minute ( u cannot reuse the acetone )  , horrible pvc with thick layers repeat the process / soak them overnight with a lid on 

then use a cotton bud roll on the coin like a roller  >>>>NOT<< rub if you rub it will be improper cleaning 

then use a blower to blow away the liquid , this way no liquid marks left on the coin surface similar to dyson hand dryer m they push water away 

hair dryer is not strong enough , lens blower is about right 

but I still think 2 years inside pvc is just about fine 

ps , if you do collect bunc coins E.G royal mint, even they are inside the folder they will have glue sticking on the coin after 5 years the coin will be cloudy because glue diffuse and release gas

If the pvc contains acid, any contact with a coin should see a transfer of acid. It won't be contact for 2 years that will be the problem, that''ll be the time it takes for you to notice any degradation. For collectable coins, it might be worth a quick rinse in a very mild alkali, distilled water and then maybe acetone to dry them.

Thanks all, this has been a really useful thread. I was contemplating picking up a coin folder for some of my antique stuff. Now thinking better not to go with the WH Smiths own-brand one I was eyeing up

predecimal are good value but a bit small about 4 pence each ? ( ordered 1000 last year  but also running out soon 

2x2 just enough for a crown but hard to heat seal them and about 15/17 pence each so after half them into half 7.5-8p each

2.5x2.5 similar cost , bought 200 flip for grading but just one grading I already used 65 ? of them 

if u continue your coin collecting journey probably u will need a lot of these anyway 

so my next purchase will be bulk maybe 2000 each
