I keep my rifles in protective cases when traveling, but if someone just threw them on the counter

and they bounced a couple of times before coming to a stop I would be aggravated. So why do people continue to do this with expensive coins in holders. I saw this at the FUN show on Saturday. Are the people that do this the same ones that open their car door into yours and walk away like nothing happened? What gets me is that it's usually the dealer selling the coin that tosses it. If you were in a jewelry store and the sales clerk tossed a diamond ring on the counter would that be acceptable? I dont know, maybe some people just dont have the same values.

came in a sealed slad like my coins I would probably think this person is an idiot. But it wouldn't stop me from buying the ring
if my wife wanted it..The ring is protected from the morons. That is the reason rare coins are in slabs. To preserve and protect
That being said I agree with the car door theory...

There are no moving parts or mechanisms on a coin to be damaged. Coins are much more securely held in slabs than a firearm in a case.
It comes down to your personal pet peeves but dropping a slabed coin on the counter would not bother me in the least. Out of respect of course I'd never do that to someone else's coin but if someone did it to mine I'd pay it no thought. Dropping it on a hard surface floor or chucking it across the room...now that's a different story.
