<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Devyn5150, post: 3900615, member: 102432&quot;]When I first got the coin home I inspected the capsule in greater detail, coming from a pawn shop I had my concerns. There appeared to be a tiny tool mark. Nothing seemed to be amiss, fingerprints etcetera, through the lens of the capsule but I wanted to be certain. I couldn’t budge the dang thing so I left it alone, not wanting any further capsule damage. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like to share my finds and I am not experienced enough to capture good photos through plastic. As well, for me, admiring the art and the craftsmanship to create such art through plastic is like window shopping, nice but not thoroughly satisfying. I don’t hold my most precious Preciouses without the white cotton gloves I purchased at the coin shop but, holding it, inspecting it up close is the thrill I sought there. </p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier on this year when I purchased my 1970 S American Proof set, looking at the coins through the protective shell was excruciating. I learned quick that the case was not an open and close one but at least now I can hold them, tactile satisfaction. I don’t even keep my prooflike sets in the flimsy plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know, I know, they depreciate in value from being removed and are now susceptible to damage and I should be cuffed upside the head. I don’t ever intend to sell the majority of my collection so, I gotta feed my senses by holding them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
