<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2380804, member: 24314&quot;]I admire how careful you are with your coins...So you should not watch dealers package up their holdings or removing coins from flips and folders or you might have a heart attack.&nbsp; IMO, you would not wish to see coins professionally graded either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I just took a stapled, cardboard 2X2 and pushed the pointed corners into another (fresh from a roll BU) Presidential dollar coin with enough pressure to bend the corners.&nbsp; Looking at the coin&#039;s surface I saw a 1/16th inch smudge on the surface.&nbsp; It came right off with a Q-tip leaving a perfect original surface matching the rest of the coin.&nbsp; No scratches or hairlines.&nbsp; Pushed up staple holes in 2X2&#039;s do not scratch coins!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Relax.&nbsp; Go to the bank and get a few BU half dollars and presidential dollars.&nbsp; Carefully examine each one.&nbsp; Now practice throwing them at walls in your house and dropping them on the floor.&nbsp; I am convinced that you will be amazed at how difficult it is to ruin a coin.&nbsp; Now don&#039;t rub a tissue on the surface of a proof quarter or I&#039;ll be very embarrassed.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
