[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 667039, member: 112"]Even the US Mint has sold coins in the wood cases Crusty, particularly in cherry. But they, just like anybody else including PCGS, does it for one reason - to make money. They know that some folks are attracted to this type of display and will jump all over it when they are offered. Why does almost every dealer there is use PVC flips still when they know beyond a doubt that they are harmful to coins ? They do it to save money and because the softer flips do less damage to the coins on a short term basis than the harder non PVC flips. There are a lot of things that are proposed, used, advertised and sold for use with coins that are without a doubt harmful to the coins. But they are still sold and will continue to be sold. It is up to the collector to educate himself and find these things out because nobody selling them is going to do it. That you can be sure of. edit - I've said this same thing probably 50 times on this forum alone. In years past I've said on pretty much every other forum there is, most more than once. But with new members all the time on all forums, the old posts never get read. Guess I'll say it another 50 times.[/QUOTE]
