[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7601539, member: 105098"]How precious. This person's never heard of the concepts of friction or errosion. Where softer items produce wear on harder items through simple contact over time i.e. hairline scratches. Psst. Kraft paper, because of the manufacturing kraft process, off gasses chemicals that are alkaline, and is unsuitable for coin storage. You may get away with a short term for shipping/delivery purposes but if the receiver doesn't know and leaves it like that for a long period of time they might find an ugly black coin when they look again. And yes music can scratch a coin if it's loud enough and causes vibrations that move the coin against another surface which will cause friction and wear on the coin. circulated coins have friction wear. hands/ pockets/purses, and other coins, all as hard or softer, but not harder than the coin, causing wear through friction slowing wearing a coin down to nothing. And yes even a little bit is detectable with magnification.[/QUOTE]
