Just a quick question: I know velvet is the prefered surface for laying down coins, but how does felt work? I found a scrap of it laying around the house and have been using it for CRH. No good?

spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 11:55 am I have used a felt square that we had when I am organizing and roll hunting and it has never caused any probems for me. I might not use it if I were working with proofs or anything just in case because felt seems more abrasive than velvet, but it seems fine for my roll hunting use. Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 1:12 pm I have seen felt stuck to a few coins, but it's possible that heat melted the glue holding the felt down and seeped through to the coin. I prefer to sort coins on a solid surface so that the rim of the coin would suffer any wear, not the surface of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 4:14 pm Always remember that man made products are seldom exactly or in many instances not even close to each other. As an example Felt could be made of Cotton, Wool, Wooden fibler, etc. What some people may be using as felt for coins is probably not the same as others use. And some may and some may not discolor or corrode a coin. When in doubt, don't use Felt. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 9:55 pm I have used felt lining around a coin capsule, housed in a modified display box, but I would not use felt or similar fibrous linings directly against a valued coin surface. Fibrous linings are like carpet and can accumulate dust, which can cause fine scratching. You are better off using tried and proven PVC free holders, where the attribution of the coin can be written on the holder. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19948 Posts	Posted 07/31/2010 12:24 am Oh, for CRH I use a bare oak table. I can work with the coins a LOT faster by sliding them around.
