Are PCGS holders absolutely safe for long term storage of 20 or more

years or

is the ICG holder better?




I've known aging tests to have shown that PCGS holders TRASH coins,
due to PVC damage, resulting in hazing, etc. Just do a google search
or check out the threads on http://forums.collectors.com

Unless you want your coins TRASHED AND WORTHLESS 10 years from now, in
the long run it is best to have them graded and authenticated by ACG,
not PCGS. Check out http://www.asa-accugrade.com/coins.htm and
http://mediausa.net/acgpackaging/

Note also that PCGS provides and encourages you to submit your coins
in holders cointaining PVC, which has lead to MANY PEOPLE HAVING THEIR
COINS TRASHED **DURING** the submission process (see
http://forums.collectors.com/), sometimes PCGS even provides a
fingerprint on your coin so that it will acquire interesting looking
PVC damage, down the road after the submission process!

Whereas, ACG states to "Ship all coins in Non-PVC RIGID FLIPS " when
submitting. (see http://mediausa.net/acgpackaging/pdf...nse_submit.pdf
)

Remember at the Charlotte hearing, it was brought out that PVC damaged
coins have been found in both ACG and PCGS holders, but that only PCGS
holders and PCGS submission policies are likely to trash your coins
this way - only PCGS encourages submission in PVC holders! (reference
above)

That's one of the reasons ACG had to withdraw from the sham
organization that the ANA has become.
