That is bad construction, add a foam layer over the compartments and problem is solved.
As I write this I see that this community is about aincent coins, and I can understand that foam might cause a chemical reaction with different metals, but why this is even an issue when the solution is simple I have no idea
It’s already touching felt(?), the upper foam could just be covered with that as well likely.
I thought about it, but at that point you can just use a normal filler material in the spacer pad, and not risk it with petrolium products
Also they make clear plastic coin cases, I use them on my silver coins. Although they may not fit coins of irregular size or something
Would a leather layer separate the metal from the foam help?
Yeah, but the foam is still a petrolium product that can off gas stuff that might harm the metal, better to go with normal fillings like cotton or similar
Traditionally, only select untreated woods like mahogany and acid-free paper and felt are used.
Ah, that makes sense, it was sort of what I was worried about after mentioning foam.
Though my point still stands, the case needs more padding between the compartments and the lid.
Sure, I agree 🙂 a small design flaw with this model
Thanks guys! Learned something new today.
