daggit Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I had finally bought a graded coin.... and I feel like I should bust the poor jailed coin out of it. Feel the same about proof sets too. Who else experiences this...is it just me, seems they are much more comfy in a soft 2x2 holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I like the slabs makes coin handling lots safer. I break my proofs and such out to put them in the Danscos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corkykile Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Maybe it is just our desire to get our hot sweaty hands on that cold hard cash... So far I have resisted the need to free those beautiful coins from their enclosures. But I think about what might happen to them if I were to do so. Now, if there were one or two defective coins in a set and I wanted to get the rest graded and have them come back in slabs I am not sure what I would do. Right now I have that decision to make concerning a lovely 1976 proof set with a bad penny in it. It might take awhile for me to make this decision, until then you all go on with your conversations and I will go on with my contemplating.

TreasureGirl Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Well, I'm considering breaking out a MS-63 Peace Dollar (1923? Can't remember, I'm in class) from its USGS slab just so I can put my whole Peace collection in one spot; I'm not gonna slab any common-date poor or about good pieces. As for proof sets - I don't get many; I have a 1987 set for my birth year and will be getting a 2007 set because it has the SQs and PDs. I just pull pretty pieces from circulation to put in my folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I only have a few slabbed coins that I have kept in there because they are UNC and Gold in perfect condition...any other coin that has already been circulated, I break out...any ancient coin I get in a slab I free right off the bat...I see little need in encasing a coin...I will use airtites...then I can open them and get the coin out as I please.
