What does PVC residue do to a coin and how can I avoid it?

Frequently Asked Questions
PVC (or Poly-Vinyl Chloride) is a chemical used to soften plastic so that it may be formed into a variety of vinyl coin holders. PVC can leach out of the holder and onto the surface of your coin, leaving a greenish film or residue that will eventually etch the surface of your coin, thus reducing or destroying its value. PCGS recommends using PVC-free, mylar flips.

What effect does ultraviolet exposure have on PVC pipe?

In order to accurately quantify the effects of UV radiation on PVC pipe, Uni-Bell members conducted a two-year study in the late 1970s at various outdoor locations in the United States and Canada. In this study, PVC pipe samples were placed on horizontal exposure racks and placed so that they received continual exposure to the sun. At various points throughout the study, tests to evaluate mechanical properties were performed on the portion of the pipes that received the maximum UV exposure.

What is "Residue"?

FAQs
The residue is everything that remains after specific bequests (if any) and after payment of all debts, taxes and expenses. There is no need to itemise the residue, you can simply decide what proportion each beneficiary is to receive, if you are naming more than one. You may wish to leave the residue to your spouse and then for it to pass on to your children. If perhaps you do not wish your children to benefit in equal shares you can state what proportion each child is to receive.
