    Hi folks, I have now decided to put my silver 1oz pandas into non pvc capsules, as I have just found out the omp capsules are pvc. Can any of you guys point me in the right direction regarding what is the best capsule to use and what is the best size to stop it from moving around inside?

    Cheers, Silver Bullion Boy:D

    Are you 100% sure on this, as I have just been reading on the web that the chinese omp is made from pvc?

    It's the outer pouch on older coins (the ones that are double sealed) that is PVC, not the actual capsule.

    Yep, most capsules are made from acrylic. It's the packaging (from long time ago) around the capsules that may be made of PVC.
