Handling ASE
A few quick questions.
Are loose handled ASE worth less?
If you buy a tube of 20 ASE should you not open it or touch them?
If you dont open them how do you verify that you actually got silver?
If I walked into a LCS and I asked to see a silver eagle , then the man grabbed a loose coin out of the display case with his bare hands making contact with the metal does the coin no longer carry the "premium"?
New to buying here and trying not to make any rookie mistakes. Thanks for the help and sorry if these questions sound dumb. I searched google and didnt feel like i found the truth. I have ordered some books on silver and coins to read but they have not arrived yet.
