[il-talk] Braille coin as jewelry

[JOSEPH MONTI]

hi girls, drilling a hole in a proof coin is a sin and would make most coin collectors turn green. anything you do to a coin makes it less collectable. you should not touch proof or uncirculated coins. if you don't care about it as a coin but a symbol of the NFB go cheapest. we are going to raffle off some dollars after the convention. some proof and some uncirculated.

Connie,
  I purposly bought the less expensive uncirculated coin instead of the 
proof coin and I don't worry about the numismanic value of the coin.  I want 
to touch it and show it to other people as a Braille awarness tool.  A true 
coin collector probably would buy the proof coin instead.
  Bob has collected coins and suggested this strategy!

                                                                             
    Cathy
