<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1644580, member: 44357&quot;]I agree, and I&#039;ve also had my fair share of fun cracking out US coins - I&#039;ve cracked out a $50 slug (it takes effort to hold your hand up when holding it) and I had a pair of 1795 $5 and 1795 $10s which I cracked out as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for long term storage, my nicer coins are in a safety deposit box anyway, so I get most of my enjoyment out of images. Slabs help ensure they aren&#039;t going to rattle around and bump up against each other, and to prevent cabinet friction (as well as reduce direct contact with some surface which could tone it rapidly). And while they do obscure some of the edges, it isn&#039;t <i>that </i>hard to still see the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>On my desk raw is a VF sestertius of Hadrian and a few dupondi which I frequently play with and I agree, these types of coins raw provide loads of enjoyment and should most definitely remain raw.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
