<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2686528, member: 77639&quot;]I&#039;m currently inactive as an ancient collector, but still have my Republicans.&nbsp; However, when I was active, I was appalled at the way some ancient collectors treated their coins.&nbsp; I remember a couple who would come to club meetings with their coins in a leather pouch.&nbsp; The pouch would be tossed on the table, then picked up and dumped.&nbsp; Then they would start rummaging through the coins like they were looking for a good nut to crack.&nbsp; No way the coins would last another 2000 years with that treatment.</p><p><br /></p><p>They were the worst offenders, but many collectors did treat their coins gently.&nbsp; However, there were a lot in between who seemed not know what a flip was other than something dealers used.&nbsp; And there were also a lot who used vinyl flips.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
