<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4277476, member: 51347&quot;]I am not intending to confuse.&nbsp; I enjoy handling coins as opposed to the Modern notions of encapsulating coins.&nbsp; In my thoughts, aren&#039;t coins intended to be handled and passed on to other humans during transactions?</p><p><br /></p><p>A saflip style storage enables you to remove, handle, study, look at, etc. of a coin.&nbsp; When I first started collecting, I would remove my modern coins from stapled cardboard holders and put them into flips.&nbsp; US Collectors have &quot;sanitized&quot; the Hobby, training everyone that it is horrible to touch coins.&nbsp; For these reasons, I abandoned Modern collecting and moved into Ancients collecting.&nbsp; The few Moderns I kept after a large sell-off 30 years ago, I keep in saflips, and handle them by the edges.&nbsp; I collect as a Hobby, not as an investment motivated purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
