<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2460174, member: 112&quot;]Your thoughts about the downside of using Saflips are quite correct and accurate. Flips absolutely impart wear to coins. There is an additional problem with them as well. Because Saflips are made of a stiff semi-rigid plastic their edges at the openings are sharp and can and will scratch or hairline coins as they are put into or taken out of the Saflips. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why are these things not a problem ? Well, not everybody is aware of it for one thing. For another, even though they are aware, they simply don&#039;t care, their primary interest is in finding the cheapest way possible to store their coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You don&#039;t want to use cardboard flips either, they have problems of their own, even the archival quality kind. Namely the potential for staple scratches, inadequate protection for the coin because of the thin mylar covering, and cardboard dust which can and will scratch the coins and cause toning spots.</p><p><br /></p><p>To store coins properly and adequately protect them you simply must use one the hard plastic coin holders. This can be done for as little a 50 cents (or less) per coin. And if a coin, any coin, is worthy of being in your collection, then is it not also worth spending 50 cents to protect it adequately and correctly ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
