<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 2130870, member: 307&quot;]Yankee is right, the TPGs want the coins submitted in flips, but I would offer this word of caution:</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to their extreme reflectivity and strong strike, proof coins also show the slightest mishandling and if not handled with delicacy, will show evidence. This evidence will result in a lower TPG grade later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that, there&#039;s no reason for you to be afraid to open them up, they&#039;re only coins. I carry a proof coin as a pocket piece. Granted, the coin is now a diminished proof (in grade), but the conversations it starts are well worth the world&#039;s loss of one single pristine proof coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
