<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2756640, member: 76440&quot;]On a purely technical level, any fabric that could create friction with a coin&#039;s surface could, after prolonged-enough exposure and movement, cause wear.&nbsp; For example, wool felt is notoriously abrasive, and is known to cause &quot;cabinet wear&quot; to coins over time.&nbsp; Velvet is softer, less abrasive and less risky than wool felt.&nbsp; I imagine that silk would also be of little risk because it&#039;s so soft and smooth.&nbsp; Whether silk has been tested against velvet, I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; I use velvet trays for my coins, but I also put a layer of non-pvc plastic beneath the coin, so the coin slides on the plastic rather than the tray tag and velvet.&nbsp; I hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
