<p>[QUOTE="ephyfe, post: 1418377, member: 37517"]Great, thanks for the advice. I opened one of the plastic capsule to see if there was any marks on them and wanted to do the same to the rest of them. Many of the capsules have scratches/flaws on them and it's impossible for me to determine if the flaws are on the coin or on the capsule. The one Panda coin I checked was nearly perfect with maybe a few small specks on them. I was thinking of using compressed air at an angle to blow anything off the coins, checking them and then putting them back in it's orginal plastic capsule. I guess the plastic is not going to hurt these coins down the road? I know mylar is inert but don't know about plastic capsules. The box the coins comes with is really quite nice so was thinking of putting it back there. I have a few proof coins without boxes and don't know what I should do with them. I don't want them rattling around the capsule, not sure what's the best way to present them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
