<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1857621, member: 23368&quot;]If not in slabs when purchased, which has no bearing on the purchase itself, I put all my coins, tokens and medals in air tites. I do this for the same reason some of you buy raw coins, so they can be handled. With air tites, you protect the coin&#039;s surfaces and it also prevents toning. If it&#039;s in pristine condition, I want to keep it that way or at least &quot;as is&quot; for lesser grades. I don&#039;t purchase any U.S. currency, minted for circulation, below a VF30. However, I do make exceptions for coins from the late 1700&#039;s. (Once I did buy a 1893CC Morgan from a dealer who labeled it VF20. I sold it when I broke up my Morgan collection).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
