<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3140424, member: 84179"]I strongly recommend AGAINST doing the drop test for anything that's worth more than <u>junk/generic silver value</u>. If the coin is really Unc, you DO NOT want to risk causing additional scratches and marks on the surface. In addition, if you use a magnet, check the edge instead of the Obv/Rev surfaces for the same reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>Better yet, get feedback from experienced collectors on sites like this as you continue to build your knowledge of non-bullion related coins (which the OP is doing)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
