[QUOTE="Steamandlight, post: 2460372, member: 56876"]I COMPLETELY understand your confusion :P When I was growing up, I always kept/collected coins. Every world coin I came across, and any USA coins that caught my attention. I was not the kindest owner, though - I loved them, and showed that love in the rough manner of a child. Now, as an adult, I have changed how I handle my things, and I also want to sort, display, and catalogue my collection. There is already damage done to many, if not most, of my various coins during the time I've had them. That does not mean I need to add to the damage moving forward, especially since I cannot say for sure what the future holds, or what I will keep and what I will trade, sell, or give away over the coming years. Many, undoubtedly, I will still have and enjoy 10, 20, or 50 years down the road. And over that period of time, even already damaged coins can presumably become more damaged - and I would avoid that, now that I am assured logic did not fail me on the subject of these saflip-type holders. I grew up (supposedly... lol) and my interests have evolved. Now it's time to go back, and bring my old joys up to date :) The impetus for this, though, the reason I am going to do this now, instead of last year or a year down the road, is the large lot of silver I just acquired that I want to *start* with the right way - and while I am at it, I'll use that momentum to take care of my old collection, too.[/QUOTE]
