<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5390928, member: 101855&quot;]Hairlines are much more noticeable on Proofs than they are on business strikes. It also easier to hairline a Proof than a business strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problems with most Proofs are caused by numismatic storage devices, too much dipping and the environment. You can hairline a Proof, if you are not careful, with a Capital Plastics holder. If you are too lazy and have one screw in the holder and slide the top layer of the plastic window over the coin, you can hairline it. If the coin rattles in the holder, you can get hairlines. That&#039;s why you avoid handling Proofs and why a good mint package or a slab are the best storage devices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
