NTC reeks

messydeskmessydesk Posts: 20,180 ✭✭✭✭✭
I just busted open a couple NTC slabs and I'm wondering if I have to call HazMat to get rid of the plastic it smells so bad. Like new vinyl shower curtain concentrate with a shot of Super Glue for good measure. (N.B.: The subject was and is not related to their grading, just the fumes that almost knocked me out.)

  • I know the scent... I've cracked a few NTC and they smell just plain awful.

    is it PVC laden?
    you might acetone the coin in case.

    No PVC on the coins, just a nauseating scent.

    You are talking about the distinctive odor of polygraditupohol, also known by it's trade name GradeFlate™.

    The patented formula interacts with the coin surface in an astounding way, as it actually improves the numeric grade on the coin.

    However, the chemical is very volatile, and folks that have cracked these coins have not only noticed the distinct odor of polygraditupohol as it escapes into the atmosphere, but they also notice that their coin, now out of the slab, doesn't seem to reflect the numeric grade that is obviously was when it was in the slab. So now you know. It explains alot.
