<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1481745, member: 37356&quot;]I think it is really up to the collector and what they want to collect.&nbsp; An uncirculated coin saves the state of the coin for posterity&#039;s sake.&nbsp;&nbsp; Circulated coins have history behind them but may not show all the details of the coin.&nbsp; Since I have just started collecting since March of this year really by first buying junk silver, I tend to like the lower risk circulated coins since I am less likely to be jipped or somehow grossly overpay.&nbsp; I may though in the future want some uncirculated versions of some of the coins I have been buying or finding just to have examples that show all details.&nbsp; For example, I bought a beat up matron head large cent for $5.&nbsp; It was inexpensive and has lots of history explaining how it got beat up but an uncirculated or even AU version would show all the details.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as containers though I wouldn&#039;t want to stick any 19th century coin in an album.&nbsp; I would get an air-tight if the coin had nice details but if the coin was pretty circulated I stick them in flips, the coin holder I prefer.&nbsp; What do most people prefer, 2X2s?&nbsp; I like flips and air-tights because they are cleanable.&nbsp; I know I got a silver American eagle and there was a bunch of crap on the flip so I wiped it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
