safe slabs?

hello all!
i was wondering about the slabbed coins and the protection they offer to the coin. are the slabs air tight?

if they are should i not worry about moisture getting to them? and what about air or smoke or any other
contaminate? and if they don't offer this protection (the slab) why can't a complete seal be introduced?

after all if they can send a man.........

    You have to wrap them in a condom (non lubed!), then you can have safe slabs.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    The only "complete" seal I've ever heard of is by using a Food Vacuum Sealer to seal them completely up. Only problem with this is you can't see your babies whe you want to.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
