Is it a bad idea to use a FOODSAVER machine to preserve coins. Very bad. The plastic has chemicals in it that will harm the coin and the vacuum packer would cause the plastic to be pressed tightly to the coins surface. Do a newsgroup search on PVC if you're interested in more information.

I think thats a great idea! Isn't it air that oxidizes the metals or
something or is it just touching the coins that is the culprit. Either way the foodsaver solves both. |

JUST FYI OFF THE FOODSAVER WEBSITE
Can I keep comic books or coins in FoodSaver bags? A. Yes, but just seal the bags, do not vacuum them. The pressure caused by the vacuum can cause the pages and print transfers to stick together. Coins can be vacuum-packed, but be sure that you place some type of backing, such as cardboard, in the bag against the "waffle" side, and face the coins toward the smooth side of the bag. This will eliminate the possibility of any marks left on the coins after long term storage. "Ben" wrote in message ... Is it a bad idea to use a FOODSAVER machine to preserve coins. |
