Time to edumakate the Rat again.

I am assuming that in the posts I see regarding PVC damage or PVC being present on a coin you are talking about Poly-Vinyl-Chloride? What is the origin? How does it affect a coin? Is it common to find? etc... etc... etc...

Thanks!

    I'm not a chemist and can't answer the question technically, but here is a thread I posted a couple of months ago. Hope it helps.

    That is amazing, isn't it? Gotta love this place.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Remember it's not how you pick your nose that matters, it's where you put the boogers.

    You're welcome, glad I could be of help.

    Also, if you ever have a question on a specific topic, and it is slow here, another valuable resource is the search engine. If you go there and type in PVC, you will find many other informative threads on PVC that we have had over the last couple years here.
