Taking coin out of sealed case to Dansco

I have a question. Do you guys think I should take my ASE out of its sealed airtight case that I got it in to put in my Dansco 7070 or just get another ASE. Is taking it out of the case going to bring down the value? Here is a pic of the coin in its case. Thanks

That isn't a "sealed-by-the-mint" case, but rather a 2x2 flip that the dealer put it in.
When dealers get ASE they are most likely in rolls of 20 coins.
Will it hurt--no, in fact, I would suggest taking it out of that flip. Most dealers use flips that are not PVC free. PVC can harm coins over time (this is why dealers use them...they are cheap, and it doesn't hurt the coin as long as they aren't in there for a long time).

Me I would take it out and put it in any album it fits or is made for. Of course I noticed you mentioned those magic words, VALUE. If your worried about value, probably leave it alone, place in another, more rigid, more expensive case. My opinions are almost always based on coins have little to no value since I never plan on selling them. If you are not planning on selling something, then it makes little difference as to it's value.
Of course something of extreame value does take on a different aspect. I wouldn't take a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel and put it in my Whitman Album. MAYBE, that is.

 

Thanks guys!

 

This case in contains PVC and even if it didn't,

This flip contains PVC and even if it didn't there is no value ad with it in this flip. Take it out and put it in any number of available better type holders on the market.
It may well come as a shock to collectors but as said albums with slides are bad, very bad. Albums with slides are never a good idea to keep coins in - only the most seasoned professional can manipulate these without damage either putting them in or taking them out with out surface scratches. Also they leave little specks of cardboard material on the face of the coins after you have seated them no matter how careful you are.
The best holder are the most expensive acrylic 2-piece type holders either for individual coins or sets - they are very expensive and (IMO) should only be used for valuable sets of coins such as high grade type sets and complete sets with many key dates in them.
Still by far the best and most cost effective way to keep coins in in clean 2x2's that have had the dust removed by canned air first then always use pliers to flatten staples or use a self flattening (worth it's weight in gold)stapler, labeled and then put in 20 pocket pages and a three ring binder. This method offers both protection, is cost effective, and are easily switched out or other wise manipulated as time goes on plus they can be customized to your liking.

 

How far along are you with your 7070. I would take it out and stick it i the 7070 if I were you so you could have it where you can enjoy it.

 

I am still waiting for it to come in but I estimate I have just over 30 of the coins. So not too far, but pretty far I will probably put it in my album as I would enjoy it the most there and would also take great care handling the coins.

 

Huh?

It is no more impossible than putting a coin in a flip without damaging it (unless, of course, you have a very tight-fitting album or make a mistake inserting the coin).

 

p.s. the OP's photo leads me to say the flip DOES contain PVC, and I would remove the coin immediately, give it a good bath in acetone and distilled water*, then put it in an airtite.

* = seek advice of someone who's done this before trying yourself.

 

You don't.

Chances are you can't take a coin out of a US mint tube and slip it into a flip without touching it either.

Bummer...everything I have is damaged at some point along the line of distribution.

 

Brand new white cotton glove.

 

I took the coin out of the package, thanks all. I used my new cotton gloves and then put it in my brand new dansco. It is snug but not too snug.

 

Cool. Keep us updated on the progress of the 7070.

 

Will do! Thanks FGC

 

Recently, I saw a proof Barber 25c with a big, fat fingerprint on it. PR63CAM PCGS.

Probably would have been 65 without that fingerprint.

I'll always wonder how it got there; my suspicion is someone thumbed it into an album.

It's not impossible to put a coin in an album undamaged, but I bet 99% of the time it's botched. Coin abuse.

So much for "slabs are the bane of the world". They protect a coin a heck of a lot better than albums do.

 

I avoid hairlines pressing very lightly. If the fit is tight, I'll place a PecPad (a microfiber cloth made for cleaning lenses and camera sensors) over the coin.

Also, you don't have to push hard with Dansco's -- it's not like the old Whitman or WR or LOC albums.

However, you do need to be very careful closing the acetate cover as you can put hairlines on the coins very easily -- just be sure the coin is sitting "down" in the hole before you close it.

All in all, you have to be careful, but it can be done. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for truly rare or expensive coins, but for the coins I keep in these albums (generally under $200, and averaging much less), I have no concern with damaging them (and thusfar haven't).

Have fun...Mike

p.s. one of the things you DO need to worry about is cardboard dust settling on the coin -- particularly a reactive coin like the OP's SAE. Again, I use a photography tool to get rid of it -- a blower/brush combo like this:
