Does mounting a coin in silver or gold do any damage to the coin itself?
No. Remember that these coins were crudely made and struck by hand in most cases. Even the later coins that were made with presses were a bit crude compared to today’s standards. With the exception of ONE coin, we have never soldered a bezel or bale directly to a coin. We surround the coin in gold, put on prongs to hold it in place, and put a bale at the top. This protects the coin from wear and tear. I see people all the time wearing coins that I sold them 20 years ago. The coins look almost as good as the day they were purchased.
