I have a 1923 silver dollar- should I keep it in its case or carry it around with me?
A couple of days ago, a bought a 1923 Peace Dollar that is in very fine condition for $21. The problem is that I like putting my hands on things and playing around with them, and I am having a hard time resisting taking the coin out of its holder and flipping it around and carrying it around with me to show my friends. It is one of the more valuable coins that I have, but I don't think I would be willing to resell it.
How much of the value would I take off by touching the coin?
Oh, by the way, I already took the coin out of its case and starting tossing it around and probably already buy drugs took some its value. I put it back in after and stapled the holder back shut.

Leave it in it’s case. You take it out, start playing with it, you will start degrading it by getting scratches, smudges, dirt, etc on it. You want to show your friends, then leave it in the case and show them.
