Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 880087, member: 4552"]Obviously if someone can rant and rave about that for 4 hours, there is something far more involved in his metal stability than some coins. That is the type of person you should avoid at all costs for your own safety. Such individuals are exceptionally unstable and could actually be dangerous. As to any possible damage to a coin in a 2x2, it is possible in some instances. Not necessarily a dropping in grade due to something like wear, but if enough 2x2's are bounced around together, some of the coins will actually get banged and possibly scratched or dented. This possiblilty is worse if the 2x2 is the wrong size for those coins. Example would be a Cent in a Dollar type 2x2. That Cent would slide around as it is handled but it would still take a lot of that to do anything to the coin. Occationally people that staple the 2x2's don't flatten the staples and they could scratch other coins. Similarly coins in a plastic bag could bounce all over each other if just loose in a plastic bag. Again, that too depends on the size of the bag, the method used to place the coins in them, the amount of air pushed out, etc. Yet regardless of any possible problems with any coins in those containers, the person ranting about that should be hauled off to a place with those people with the white coats.[/QUOTE]
