<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1426144, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, I just don&#039;t know HOW coins survived until the advent of latex gloves and plastic slabs. Why oh why did they not just all wear away? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to be snarky, but gentlemen like Mr. Berk know 10,000 times more than at least what I know about coins. I trust he understands what can be damaging to a coin and what isn&#039;t. He has handled well into the 8 figures in coins over his career, if in current values probably over a billion. If he were systemically damaging them I think he would pay attention. Could his treatment take a modern coin from 70 to 68? Possibly, but I have never seen such modern collectibles in his store.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see other dealers with equal experience handle their coins the same way. If you notice in the video, the one BU looking gold I only see him holding by the edges. That is what I do, for a modern BU coin I handle the edges only.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Sorry again if this sounded snarky Pilkenton. No offense meant, it was just meant to be funny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
