I think handling coins is fine unless it's a proof or could damage the coin.

Like just_carl, I usually carry no change. I don't like too much stuff in my pockets, makes me feel unorganized.

janknez, I don't have any qualms about buying slabbed coins. I'm not an expert grader by any means and I feel the slab protects me. No problems cracking them out once I own them either.

I appreciate everyone's feedback and I am going to select a coin (or two or three) to carry around. Once I do I'll post my selection.

Great forum guys!

From one of my early forum posts here.
/////////////////////////////////////////
"I retrieved my old collection from our attic and virtually every coin has a memory associated with it. Every coin I touch brings back memories of the wind in the pines, the taste of homemade blackberry cobbler, and the smell of wood smoke or rain. The ring of silver when you flip a coin with your thumb and when it hits on a wooden counter still is alive within my mind."
/////////////////////////////////////////

IMHO, coins should be enjoyed in their natural state...
