  • In this video I talk about the dangers of PVC damage to collectible coins. It is an unfortunate part of coin collecting history that many manufacturers of coin preservation products used PVC plastics in their products. PVC leaches harmful chemicals out onto your valuable coins and leaves damaging green residue on them. Think your carson city morgan dollar is safe, protected in plastic? Think again. Watch this video to find out how to keep your silver coins like Peace dollars, walking liberty half dollars, and much more safe from dangerous chemicals and save you thousands of dollars in the process.

    This also applies to currency bills as well, though more dramatic effects happen such as the paper becoming brittle, or the ink basically liquefying, or both...
    I use Supersafe brand top loader holders for my bills and clear hard polystyrene 2x2's and roll tubes for my coins...

    Unfortunately, many modern storage sleeves are “loosy-goosy” and don’t have PVC, so that’s not a great way to test them.
    I saw another video that showed that if you burn a little of the plastic, the flame turns green if it has PVC, so I’ll be testing all of my non-brand name plastic products now.

  • @Tounushi
    @Tounushi Рік тому +1

    Other than PVC, storing coins in paper napkins can be hazardous. I found a wad of old tissue paper containing war-era 10 penny iron coins and they'd all corroded. Another collection was all safe.
    And I'd used 80s/90s leftover memo pad paper to roll regular circulated coins before reading about paper acidity, so I checked to make sure my copy paper follows the ISO 9706 (acid-free) standard and rerolled all of them with that paper.
    Silver and billon coins are flipped without further consideration in mylar and cardboard 2x2s.

    Can pvc plastic flips be rigid too? I bought some not too long ago on amazon and didn’t check the material, they are rigid and also have a hard time staying folded on their own

  • @aaronweise360
    @aaronweise360 4 роки тому

    Although I dont have or use pvc slips or holders, and also being only 6 months into the hobby, this is still invaluable information and I will never consider pvc in the future.
    Hey @silverpicker what about binder pocket pages, that are not rigid plastics? Are they pvc, and even though I put my coins in 2x2's will they damage my coins, bars, or other things I have in them?

    How can you tell if a coin has been dipped in acetone? Does the acetone react with the silver?

    • @Silverpicker
      @Silverpicker  7 років тому +5

      It should not be noticeable. The idea is that the acetone reacts with the pvc but not the silver

    • @gabrielcornea9119
      @gabrielcornea9119 5 років тому +5

      Tou can't tell, therefore it's not considered cleaning in the field of numismatics. Acetone does not react with silver nor gold. But unfortunately doesn't clean pvc damage either. It will wash a fresh fingerprint or fake patina some sellers on ebay put on coins (actually black grease which I personally find disgusting and might cover some defects on purpose). Acetone doesn't remove real patina either so don't worry. Make sure you don't scratch the coin with fingers or anything. Just hold it by the edge with clean fingers and dip it in the chemically pure acetone, but do not allow it to touch the container and don't touch the obverse or the reverse of the coin with anything if you want to keep the "uncleaned" status for your precious coin. But if you do have pvc damage, you might need to physically scratch the green demon away. I find it works well with matchsticks or wooden popsicle handles under a big loupe, as the wood is softer than metal and the overall damage will be held at minimum. It did happen at least once to see pvc damage so bad I had to use an Xacto knife. I did scratch the coin, but with pvc damage it was only worth the melt value anyway.

Should I submit it to a grading company for restoration prior to grading, not grade it at all . Its perfect at 10x and an ms66 is like 20k . But like I said to perfect for its age ....have you had any experience with how the big 2 restore and grade post restoration well cleaned coins ?
