<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7766391, member: 112"]Yeah, I get it, individual coin holders are "expensive and bulky". But lemme ya a question.

If it cost a $1 more they'd still buy it without even blinking. But, ask them if they'd spend that same $1 to buy a coin holder that would protect that coin as best as it can be protected - for the rest of your life, for the rest of the coin's life even - well, the number of those who say yes sure do drop.</p><p><br /></p><p>But why ?

I mean who can say, honestly, that if a coin, regardless of it's value, is worthy of being in your collection - is it not worth a $1 to protect that coin as best it can be protected ? Fact of the matter is it'll cost ya less than $1, maybe as little as half a dollar - per coin. It not only seems cheap, it seems like money well spent to me. And truth of the matter is - it seldom gets any better than that. That's about the best anybody can ever hope for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin philosophy 101.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
