Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what you thought about keeping coins and a shell in a stack (ie 3 to 4 kennedy half dollars and a shell) in one of these clips http://bumblebeeartsupply.com/products/i......9445.jpg in your pocket. Do you think the shell will get damaged from this? -Vinny |

I am thinking that the clip will scratch your coins.

If you attach a piece of felt on the inside of this I don't see an issue. A folded bankers clip with the aforementioned felt works great as well.

That's how I keep my coins together .. I took some black duck tape and put wraped it around the clips in order to keep the coins from scratching and to keep them from talking with I slide them in or out of the clip ... you can see some pics on the post I made on the Joshua Jay Pro Carrier Review.

My concern was that the clip would distort (or bend) the shell because of how tight it applies pressure, but I guess if the coins are stacked and nested there really isn't much of a risk for that...
...is there? -Vinny |

I just keep the shell nested on a coin. I've had NO problem with the clip distorting the shell.

I keep my shell in a separate jewel box, all by itself. I only break it out when I am going to use it in my show. Then, it's right back into the box.
Good luck! |

Those clips can be pretty strong. Would I carry a $100 shell in a clip like that I would have to say no.

I would say don't do it... If you want your shell to last keep it ina coin purse with your other coins.
Here is a link to the purses that I use.. for all my sets. http://themagicwarehouse.com/acoin3.html 9 bucks aint bad at all. Works for both halfs and dollar sized coins Shawn.

Thanks Shawn, I would definitely feel better about using one of those. Actually the one you have is really nice.
