<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8195478, member: 112&quot;]The answer will typically depend on one&#039;s philosophy on the matter. In other words, what&#039;s more important to somebody, looks, or practicality ? Looks of course depends on one&#039;s taste, it&#039;s a chocolate and vanilla choice in other words. Whereas practicality leaves out such considerations and is based on physical attributes alone.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>An inert material, can&#039;t think of the name off the top of my head but being an inert material is really all that matters.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They can, it&#039;s possible in other words but typically unlikely. To fully understand the situation a couple of things need to be explained. While the coins and the holders are manufactured to close tolerances tiny differences in diameter are rather common. This is especially true with older coins, and the older the coin the greater the likelihood its diameter will vary slightly. And slightly is all it takes for the fit to be either too tight or too lose. And one is just as bad as the other. Too lose means the coin can move inside the holder, too tight means once you get the coin inside the holder, ever getting it back out of the holder becomes beyond difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where the importance of the ring insert comes into play for the insert completely, 100% negates any size differences. The ring inserts are made of a flexible material, and sized so that no matter if the coin, or the holder, is a tiny bit big or a tiny bit small, that the coin will be held tightly and securely in place every single time.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, if one collects hammered coinage then the ring inserts become imperative because the diameter of hammered coinage can be all over the map. But there is always a holder and insert size that when used in conjunction will work and securely hold the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin can move at all inside the holder then wear will be imparted to the coin. That much is a given.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
