[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1322197, member: 22004"]Surgical or non-surgical? Seriously, I have seen dealers with these concerns--with coins that are holdered, there are plastic sleeves to prevent scratching, etc.--I recently saw a dealer really upset by having coins returned back to him with the holders scratched. There is some product to fix scratched holders, don't know what it's called. And on raw coins, I would say absolutely, no handling without something on. Stopped at a hotel buyer recently who was already to break the gold coin out of a plastic capsule with his greedy little fingers, when I told him I did not want him to do this. But we have to do that to weigh it exactly, he said. I said it is a $5 gold coin, you can just do the math--.965 times gold price per oz. times a quarter. One thing I have learned the hard way is that you have to lay down the rules when other people want to inspect your stuff.[/QUOTE]
