Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1669503, member: 112"]Ever hear the saying that if you are going to do something that it is worth doing right ? Well, that applies to coin holders too. Problem is, most people tend to ignore it and instead choose "good enough" (in their minds anyway) over right. They justify doing this with all sorts of reasons - expense, convenience, space constraints, looks/appearance, etc., the list goes on. But when push comes to shove there is only 1 right way to properly store coins. Assuming of course that you have a desire to protect those coins and keep them from being harmed, or having their condition altered. To do that coins have to be stored individually. And the only method that we have to do that will not harm the coins in one way or another is to use the hard plastic coin holders that are available. There are several different kinds of them, and one is just as good as the other, but some cost more than others. I will say one thing more. It is accepted as fact that 80% or more of all unslabbed coins are problem coins. But do you know why they are problem coins ? It's because most collectors choose "good enough".[/QUOTE]
