<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 489153, member: 9474&quot;]I just received today my first Britannia One oz bullion coin today.&nbsp; This is the most poorly packaged coin I have ever received.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if I could describe how it was packaged, but I will give it my best.... First the coin was seated in a plastic holder.... so one side was exposed and one side was protected.&nbsp; The plastic holder was firmly housed in a 6inchx4inch card stock with the type of coin on one side and the description of the coin (specs) on the other.&nbsp; Then it was placed in a pastic bag to protect it and mailed that way.&nbsp; Well...... I wasn&#039;t aware that one side wasn&#039;t protected so when I grabbed the coin to look at it, I put my thumb right smack over the face of the coin.&nbsp; There was a big greasy finger print on the coin..... hey, Im Italian what can I say. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I thought that it was like the us mints coins in our special mint sets when the coin is in the plastic holder and you could spin it around...... ya know what I&#039;m talking about? Not the hard plastic capsuls, but the soft ones that cannot be removed like the ones in the Marine coin and stamp or the American Bald eagle coin and medal one.&nbsp; Do you know what I am talking about now?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I quickly called a stat blue emergency and raced to my kitchen sink. I ran it under warm water but the print did not go away.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t want to put any soap on it for fear of damaging it, so I gave it a quick acetone bath.&nbsp; That removed most of the print, but I ended up using a little bit of dish detergent with degreaser to get rid of the remaining fingerprint.&nbsp; I know it was just intended to be bullion and that is why they didn&#039;t protect it, but man it caught me off guard.&nbsp; I learned a lesson.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So now the real question.... how do you store these????? Do you take them out of their original package and put the coin in a plastic flip or do you just store it as is in the orginal holder with the plastic covering?&nbsp; Thanks for your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
