I would like to compile a complete list of taboo items that should NEVER be stored with your TPG graded coins.
I will finally list all items that are questionable in its safety storage wise with your slabbed coins. I would like to discuss these and get them moved to either acceptable or taboo!
I will also list all items that are acceptable items to store with your slabbed coins.
Finally, I will list all beneficial items that should be stored with your slabbed coins.

I will add many items as we go along. This is just the start of the list.

If you disagree please post your comments here and I will modify my list here. I may have also forgotten many items as well.

This will not apply if you only have very heavily circulated coins in the TPG slabs. Most collectors own some uncirculated coins and I believe they would like to preserve them.



TABOO ITEMS that should NOT be stored with your TPG slabbed coins
01) Scotch tape,
02) Plastic wrapping tape
03) Glue
