To make that one-on-one connection with the coin, it's history.

We all hurry to acquire certifed coins or rush to get our raw coins graded and encapsulated. Preserving them for all time!

I am no different, but I find that I miss being able to interact with the coin. To handle it, hold it and feel it's true weight. To make that one-on-one connection with the coin, it's history.

Sadly I wish we could have our cake and eat it too, but I understand how important it is to preserve our jewels too. Maybe it's just me?
