I've made a mistake of putting some of my coins into
flips produced by a reputed European company. As I learned after doing some research, the
flips were made of
PVC even though they were advertised by the seller as safe to
ancient coins (or any coins for that matter). I've already ordered saflips and I will move my coins into them as soon as possible. Fortunately, there's no visible damage and residue. The coins weren't in the
PVC holders for long anyway, since I purchased them at the beginning of this year.
My question is - should I do anything before putting the coins into saflips? Should the coins be washed or bathed in order to clean any possible microscopic damage or slivers of
PVC?
I would appreciate any
help.
